~ Hello and welcome to The Textile Trunk! ~ Please follow us on Instagram @textiletrunk ~

We are so very lucky to have come orders across this wonderful, antique grain sack! This grain sack is a very rare find indeed! This sack is a regional textile in Europe (please search our store for the word 'European' to see more of our European grain sacks) and was hand woven on a narrow loom! ~ This textile uses fibers that would have been produced on the family farm, and they were woven by hand to be used for grain and olive harvest. This textile was distinctive, so each family hand their own particular stripe, color or even a stamp, so that the miller could return the sack once processed to the rightful family! ~*~ This sack has been machine washed and is ready to use ( please see condition details below ). This sack would make a stunning pillow simply by adding an insert and using the original tie to close! Fabulous too for upholstery projects, windows, pillow making, table runners ( simply unstitch the hand stitched edges to get one long piece) This sack is a one of a kind, rare and beautiful textile that would add the perfect touch to any rustic interior or modern farmhouse! This sack would also be a great addition for any textile collection!

STRIPE COLOR(S) : This sack is a combination of linen, cotton and wool! It has gorgeous smaller scale striping running the length and width on both sides! There are shades of gray, cocoa, deep brown, pink, magenta, and a crisp sky blue in this textile!

MEASUREMENTS: 22 inches wide by 36 inches long (it's double sided, so if using for cutting there are 2 panels that measure this!)

CIRCA AGE: early 1900s

TEXTURE: This sack has a stiffer hand than some of the floppier sacks; it has a lovely texture, almost a crisp feeling, even after being washed!

CONDITION: This sack was recently laundered and is ready to use! They wash beautifully - you can machine wash and tumble dry these sacks over and over and over! It's beautifully distressed - there are a few pulls and nubs on both sides as well as a couple of small threadbare spots. These imperfections and quirks only add to the sack's charm, personality, and history! This sack would be perfect for a shabby chic or rustic interior, or for deconstructing to use in a variety of crafting and decorative projects!
