This is a very popular pattern from ALBA ROSA. There are a few loose threads, but they are not the kind that will cause tearing. It's from quite a while ago, but I don't see any noticeable stains. However, please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about such things. Size: Free Waist (laid flat): approx. 37cm Total length: approx. 24.5cm Total length is measured from the edge.
