At Fluff & Peachy Bean we are dedicated to using quality products we can be proud of. Our linen is a natural unbleached linen which makes for a stronger fiber.It's a little harder to transfer but worth the extra time for the heirlooms rug hooking produces. We use only flannel weight 100% virgin wool for our hand dyeing making it suitable for all cuts and our hand dyed silk is pure silk charmeause, the very best silk! Our patterns are hand transferred with a 4 inch edging on all 4 sides giving you plenty of room on the frame. All raw edges are serged and patterns are include a pattern diagram and are in a protective plastic bag. Generally we ship within 3 business days through priority mail. Thanks for checking us out and as always Happy Hooking. Nancy
