Natural - American Waxed Linen - now in stock - limited supply

We have received some of the natural color in the American Waxed Linen. The sizes of cords are not the same as the American Heather Sand color we already carry. Please be aware that the new 4 ply natural American waxed linen is approximately the same size as the Crawford 4 ply. The 6 ply natural American is slightly smaller than the Crawford 7 ply. The heather sand is thicker in both sizes.

Currently, the Natural Color is unavailable from the Crawford factory.
The current supply of raw materials in their stockpile will not dye that color correctly. They are working on the problem,
but it will likely be several months before it is resolved - not before Spring of 2026.

Please Note: Dyelots vary with each shipment. Monitors see colors differently.
These colors are only for reference and WILL NOT BE EXACT!!!
