Gift time!

Perfect Gifts for many occasions.

Aladdin's Cave is the name many locals give my business.

Yummy Linen hosts a collective mix of lovely handmade textiles and unique Linen's. Keep in mind that 90% of our stock is handmade and therefore each one is unique. 

If I'm having an on line conversation with a customer I may ask - what is your pleasure point? 

What do I mean by that ? and I'm not being sexual - 

Pleasure points are my term for 'your feel, touch, texture experience and what you like or don't like'. 

For example- I source a lot of extremely old Kantha blankets that have started to decompose and feel like flanell. They are texturally beautiful soft and floppy. For many ADHD kids, they are comforting and the kids look like they are petting them. Some people like a texture in their bed sheet, so we have designed a slightly rough Linen bedding range for these people. 

Heavily stitched Kantha quilts are also comforting to run your hand over, but not everybody likes a texture. Our Cotton Velvet blankets offer both warmth and beauty. Plus being double sided you can choose to style them velvet side up, or stitched side up and both sides offer a different touch experience.

But others prefer silky smooth. We are all different and If I know more about your likes and dislikes I can help you choose the best bedding for your preference.

For hot sleepers like me, I have soft silky cotton hand block printed reversible sheets

. They are always cool to the touch and get softer with each use. They are made to last and will fit any bed size up to a king size bed - obviously they can be styled differently on each bed size.

 

Here's a look inside my Aladdin's cave.

Our gift giving ideas include hand pressed leather junk journals with art rag paper pages that are perfect for scrapbooking and artists to draw in. The quality pages are archival and made from cotton. No tree is involved in the making of our journals and our leather is a by product from Lamb, Goat, or Camel.

thoughtfully curated Textiles

Yummy Linen Brand sources and designs textiles using vintage kantha cotton fabrics, as well as new artisan woven high grade Linen bedding. Our ethos is to find and use small family businesses to product our textiles. Most of these businesses are in India, Morocco, Pakistan, and Vietnam.

Upcycling from already existing textiles has a dramatic and positive impact on the Earth and her resources. We don't need 'new', we crave it, or want it, but mostly we don't always need it. Yummy Linen's Pure Linen bedding and many hand block printed sheets, kimono's, and kanthas are all new products, so we do have a mixture of both. Made by human hands, each block printed item is hand stamped. Each colour is a different stamp and some designs are more expensive than others, due to the print difficulty and size. 

Buying from our Australian business not only supports us, it means we can continue to work with small artisan communities and make sure they can make a living from their beautiful work.

Kantha  is made from a textile, usually cotton and hand sewn in a straight stitch to cover an entire quilt.

New Kantha Quilts are made using two layers of organic cotton ( one with the design and one is generally a solid colour) that are stitched together. Our artisans may use just the one colour thread or multipul colours. It is their decision to make. We do not dictate to them how to do their art. 

Vintage kantha is made using four or more layers of vintage cotton sarees which are then sewn together to form a throw blanket, floor rug, baby rug and many other things. In vintage Kantha there is a vast difference between quality and 'kind'. Yummy Linen specialises in rare and grade A1 textiles, that include Nakshi hand stitched rugs and throws, Kantha blankets, Susani stitched quilts and many more.

We are often told by our Artisans that we have the best selection of Vintage Kantha they have ever seen!

Each of the pieces purchased for our store has been hand chosen and we often only pick ten to thirty quilts from around 1000 pieces. With Kantha, you pay for what you get. 

And even with the massive amount of time we spend picking a collection, sometimes the quality is still not good enough for us to sell as a complete piece. Issues may be stains that we can not wash out, or stitching we are not happy with. These quilts are often used to make totes, pillow covers, kimonos and coats - that sort of thing. The scraps we turn into book marks, eye glasses cases, cloth book covers and so on. Nothing is thrown away!

When you buy your delectable textile from us, we hope you will love it for years to come, and even past it down to others. Our textiles are made to last! Yummy Linen is dedicated to Helping Women Value Themselves for a change. We want you to make the decision to purchase something that is not a cheap synthetic thing that will fall apart easily, but to decide you are worth spending money on! Your health matters - synthetic fibres will be our next issue ...

- for now peeps, please enjoy and welcome to the Yummy Linen family.
