vintage red & white checked linen fabric for kitchen dish towels or tablecloth

Classic red and white checked woven fabric - this time in linen, a little nicer than the more usually found cotton fabric.

This 2 1/2 yard length of 58" wide linen has never been laundered (it's crisp and 'shiny').

But it was apparently used as a tablecloth for an impromptu picnic without ever being hemmed up or washed, as there's some spots and possible stains.
