Substitute for Sand Belfast Linen?

Hellman's all the way - for sandwiches, potato salads, pasta salads - love the stuff. I personally have never found a better tasting ketchup than Heinz's - they took the ribbon as far as I'm concerned.

I'm not surprised at your answer. After we like the same people, so why not condiments too

Ketchup - I really like the Trader Joe's one. Very fresh tasting.

There isn't any Trader Joe anywhere near where I live so I can't argue about the ketchup, but so far Heinz is the only good one I've ever had.

If you want 32 count evenweave, I would say Parchment or Bay Rum Jobelan. If 28 is okay, then you could try Beige or Natural Light Jobelan, too. If you prefer Lugana, perhaps mushroom, which is a sort of pinky beige. I use Wichelt's web site to get reasonable color images, if that's at all helpful:

If memory serves, that design could work with just about any tone from antique white to ivory to beige/tan/natural. All you want is decent contrast for all that lettering.

Have fun!

Actually, if memory serves correctly, Potato is the pinky-beige color in Lugana. Mushroom doesn't have pink overtones. :) Kim

If it ain't Heinz, it ain't ketchup!

(And did you know that catsup and ketchup are different, according to the FDA?) Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers. Picture Trail Gallery:

Bone is the pinky beige. Potato looks like the inside of a baked spud. Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers. Picture Trail Gallery:

Linen does give a wonderful look but if you want evenweave for a uniform stitch it ok

I have done both Belfast and evenweave. it all according want look I am going for. I love linen and work on it most of the time but if I got a real _itchy man/lady for a piece, and she/he wants that uniform look, I use evenweave. that usual because that person think the look of linen is toooo old for their home. so Nicole go for it , dye it yourself it you want.

I just use want i like for a piece or want ever the paying person wants. that can be a reallly strange thing. I love linen Edinbugh or Dublin or Glasgow or Newcastle but do want you like it is your piece. Sands is just a shade of Tan/Brown
