| Flaws | on : a) marks of wear specially on the sides of the
sheet as it has been unsewn on its original centerseam and then sewn on
its original selvedge because of wear : I would recommend to withdraw 20
cm on each sides on : b) light marks of wear, a light grey mark 4x3 cm that can be seen mainly on one side on : c) few marks of wear |
| Miscellaneous | simple hems |
| My comment | Perfect for drapes as the weight is important. All the sheets are coming from the same place and are alike at 99% for color and texture. Please note that for hemp sheets the whiter they are the worn out they are so it is impossible to find white hemp sheet in excellent condition. |
