Opening the box.
Today we welcome a new product to the Vetty Creations range: Sotema 20L linen. Sotema 20L linen is a lovely, high quality, Italian, 38 count linen. It is the fabric that we are now recommending and stocking for Portuguese whitework, or any other embroidery where a 38 count linen is recommended.

Sotema 20L linen, 38 count, 180cm wide, optical white.
We used to stock Graziano Pronto Ricamo, but after many attempts to restock this fabric, I realised that it just wasn’t going to happen. Sotema 20L linen is a perfect substitute.

Portuguese Whitework square mat by Yvette Stanton
I actually used Sotema linen for the Square Mat project in Portuguese Whitework: Bullion Embroidery from Guimarães and it was a lovely linen to work with. I couldn’t get it here in Australia at the time, hence my decision to stock the Graziano fabric. Now, times have changed and I can no longer get the Graziano, but Sotema is available to me.
The two fabrics are both lovely, and I’m very happy to now be stocking Sotema 20L linen. It comes in at a lower price point than the Graziano did, which is not a reflection on its quality, rather just the import process.
Sotema 20L linen is 180cm wide, 38 count. We are stocking the Optical White colour, which is a lovely bright white. You can purchase Sotema 20L linen at the Vetty Creations website.
