Mangle Cloth

Mangle cloths were used with old roller ironing presses called mangles. These wonderful linen fabrics, which are about 3m long, 90cm wide and 60 to 100 years old, were used to protect other fabrics as they passed through the mangle. Mangle cloths can be used for a wide variety of home projects, such as curtains, roman blinds, tablecloths, upholstery, anything you can imagine! A friend of mine, who values natural materials, used mangle cloths and heavy dowels to make toy teepees for her children. The uses for these gorgeous linens are just limitless!
