Irish Linen for Mediaeval styled clothing

TheLunans · 2011-10-31 11:49:28

Hi All, I am wondering please if anyone could tell me where I can get a supply of Irish linen. I live in Scotland but come over as often as I can. It will be used to make 12th and 13th century styled clothing. Thank you for taking time to read this. Linda:)

As a fellow re-enactor (I presume ) I can assure you that you have a much better chance of getting linen at a reasonable price over there than over here. We did the research and ended up buying in the UK.

I was looking for Irish Linen for a Chrsitening outfit I made for a friend over seas and I ended up buying it from a guy in Birmingham!

I called every where, nobody had IRISH linen.

Can put up the link if you want.
