How to Make a Nice Altar Cloth



100 % linen as the Hebrews used.   Starched.   Blessed by a priest.

    I commissioned my mother to make a set of altar cloths, but haven't ever heard of altar cloths being blessed.

    Where can one find pure linen? I would like to make altar cloths and surplices.

    Are there any locations in the United States or Rome where one can find that material?

    Thank you much.

    To Rose T. There is a fabric shop in Evanston Illinois(near Chicago) that has many hard to find items - check with them http://www.voguefabricsstore.com

    Also - I have heard that some orders of nuns will take wedding gowns and use the lace & fabric for altar cloths and clerical gowns, etc.? Does anyone know of a convent that does this?
