[HNW] Linen then

[Velvet Claw]

I'm quite happy to go with linen.

by Paula Kelly illustrates the kind of thing I want to do, in colour. 
(No blackwork, but with stumpwork and goldwork)

Linen was commonly of 40 count then. What sort of linen should I specify 
to buy, and where is a good place to buy it from? 
(Australians/Lochac'ians feel free to contribute!). I'll be buying from 
on-line.
