So that my customers can easily get the right material for Schwalm whitework, I have decided to offer for sale Weddigen linen, Anchor threads, and DEKA iron transfer pencils.

Producing high-quality linen becomes more and more difficult nowadays. Many widely known linen mills in Europe suspended their productions in the last years. I do not know how long the Weddigen linen mill will still weave. Weddigen produces the best linen suitable for Schwalm whitework. So I decided to store some rolls in different qualities. Some articles are only available in small quantities, so it is advisable to stock up on this wonderful linen before it is too late.

I offer four linen qualities in different widths and sometimes in different colours.

Here is an overview:

#160 (this is the linen I recommend for beginners)
13.5 threads per cm
34.29 threads per inch
width in meters: 1.85
net price/meter EUR (customers outside the EU pay net price only): 34
gross price/meter EUR (customers inside the EU pay 19% VAT on the net price): 40.46

#925 (this is the most common linen for Schwalm whitework, called Alba Maxima in the United States)
16 threads per cm
40.64 threads per inch
width in meters: 2.30

  1. Hallo liebe Frau Happel,!
    Es ist ganz toll, dass man bei Ihnen jetzt auch Zubehör zur
    Schwälmer Stickerei kaufen kann. Man bekommt in unsrem Raum hier nichts mehr, weil alle Handsrbeitsgeschäfte geschlossen haben!
    Liebe Grüße

  2. Ganz toll, wunderbare Auswahl und sehr gut, dass Sie auch die Garne und stifte nun anbieten. Meine Bestellung folgt !

  3. What colors are available for the #925? I’m trying to find some that is close to DMC color 739 for Lefkara work.

    • Sorry, #925 is still only available in bright white and off white.
      I have a remaining quantity of #160 – 13.5 threads/cm – in falb. I can send a small example, if you want.
