4C22 Rustic Natural Softened - 100% Linen - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2)
Natural is the earth made, not dyed, color of the flax plant once it is made into thread. No dyes, no bleach. The only thing that impacts the color of the cloth from one production to the next ( if it is more beige or grey) is the amount of sunshine and rain that particular flax harvest had.
At a heavier weight of 7.1 ounces this 57 inch wide 100% linen is referred to as Rustic due to its more textured look and feel. Durable and perfect for projects that require just a bit more substance.
The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).

Customer Questions and Answers
how does this work for dish cloths
F|S Team
Yes this linen makes up into hearty dish towels that can be jazzed up or kept simple depending on what you are looking for.
i love this weight and the two colors i bought. i plan to get more for some 18th century pants i am going to make. i am REALLY glad you pack things so well in plastic because fedex left it outside in the rain!
After seeing the article about the benefits of linen towels, I decided to make some for gifts. I layered the heavyweight natural with the black and embroidered the name on the top layer. I just love the results and plan to make more.
I have ordered small quantities of this fabric and now have ordered a whole bolt. This fabric is very easy to work with and sew. Its fantastic for embroidery. It lends itself to a variety of projects. I have made wine totes, aprons, and want to make my kid's and loved ones embroidered pillow cases and bread/food bags.
I have ordered this 3 times the last a full bolt. I love this for my embroidery projects. Hope to make a coverlet soon.
I'm desperate for a comfortable pair of trousers and I think that particular linen looks comfortable, but also looks polished enough than I can still wear the trousers when I need to look a little sharper.
The perfect backdrop for my beautiful vintage ribbon towels and runners.
