  • ~*~Hello and thank you for looking~*~
The word Kelsch is a Germanic word, taken from "Kolnisch Blau", which refers toa plant grown primarily as animal feed, (whose leaves and stems were the sourcesof an old blue dye) For centuries ( as early as the 7th century) the plant, along with hempand linen, was the main crop cultivated in eastern France and neighboringGermany. In the 18th century, the word kelsch came to describe thehand-woven linen and hemp cloths made in the French region of Alsace, usually woven by poor rural farmers. These textiles werehand loomed on narrow looms, and seamedtogether by their selvages to form wider widths for larger textiles. Whenpillow cover and mattress covers were created using these wonderful fabrics,they were sew together in large or small envelopes with openings for stuffing. These textiles wereeither stuffed with straw or feathers for use as mattress covers, duvet coversand pillow cases ~*~
