IL019 All-purpose Folkstone Gray Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 59"
Russian Symbolist painter Mikhail Vrubel created a magical twilight zone of dwindling daylight hours with grey, purple and blue, capturing the the moment when reality blurs into dreams. FOLKSTONE GRAY linen’s subtle violet grey tone was one of his favorite colors because it allowed him to create subtle areas of mid-toned shadow as the evening quietly faded into night.
Light and dark tones were enhanced in his paintings to create believable volume, weight, and form, qualities which were vital to the atmospheric complexity of his art, as he explained, "I have a passion for grasping form as fully as possible."
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 59 inch wide 100% linen is versatile enough to be referred to as an All Purpose or Do it All linen. With its smooth look and tighter weave, this linen is neither sheer or heavy, but just the right in-between weight you will need for a variety of projects.
Our FS Signature Finish was developed exclusively for us using a special process that makes this linen super soft with a comfy, classic look you'll love at first sight.
As a bonus, this process removes almost all of the initial shrinkage, giving you more fabric to get your projects done.
This finish makes the linen as soft as butter. Yep, 100% linen that feels and drapes and sews as no linen you have ever encountered. Because the fabric has been pre-shrunk for you - it will be less than the base cloth width.

Customer Questions and Answers
I love these subtle greyed linen colors such a Montana Grape (purple), Shadow Grey (pink) and now this beautiful Folkestone Grey. The signature finish gives it a lovely soft texture. I plan on making a skirt.
This skirt is self-drafted. I used two yards of this midweight linen. Each skirt panel used the full width of the fabric, which I won't do again. It's too full and heavy. Next time I will stick with a more standard formula where the entire circumference is about double my waist measurement before gathering. I used wide elastic at the top and secured it on each side by stitching in the ditch to keep it from rolling or twisting. I put a deep tuck at the bottom for a vintage look. I plan to wear this with my winter white cable knit fisherman's sweater and lace-up brown boots.
