Linen and oat: two shades of textiles

A set of undyed European farmhouse textiles. The colors are only two shades: the light grey-beige of unbleached linen, and the oat-brown of coarse hemp and wool. They are used for tablecloths, cushions, bedding, and curtains in front of windows, with a rough surface where the yarn is visible. There is no dyeing or patterns, only the natural fading and softening after many washes. Avoid: using dyed and patterned fabrics, adding a third textile color other than white, using smooth and delicate fabrics, ironing the textiles flat.

一組未染色的歐陸農舍織品。顏色只有兩階:未漂白亞麻的淺灰米,以及粗麻與羊毛的燕麥褐。它們用在桌布、坐墊、床品與窗前的簾上,表面粗糙看得見紗線。沒有任何染色與圖案,只有洗過多次之後的自然褪色與軟化。避免:使用染色與有圖案的布料、加入白色以外的第三種織品顏色、使用光滑的細緻布料、把織品燙得平整。
