IL084 Narrow Width 974 Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2), Width 19"
Fabric specifications:
This is a 19" wide twin to the 4C22 Rustic linen line.
Woven out of the same size thread and with the same thread density this IL084 is just woven to be narrow. That means less cutting time for you and you can get to the fun part of using your linen items sooner.
At a heavier weight of 7.1 ounces a square yard this 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.
Yarn Dyed fabrics are made using threads that are dyed separately before being woven. This allows for a larger variety of patterns and designs that stand out from the base fabric color. Design created exclusively for F|S.
Narrow width cloth is great for:
- Shopping bags
- Purses
- Placemats
- Runners
- Decorative pillows
- Kitchen towels
- Appliance covers
- Potholders
- Cushions
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 Reviews
Not useful for much of anything
The color is greyish and not good for dishtowels. It's too narrow to be made into a garment. It's not heavy enough to be made into a bag.
I couldn't resist buying a few yards of this gorgeous fabric to make tea towels for myself and as gifts. They were easy to make. All I had to do was figure out the length and then turn up the ends (about a quarter inch for each fold). I didn't wash the fabric before sewing, and it creased along the hem in a helpful way. This fabric is rougher than other fabrics that I've bought from the Fabric-Store. There are even flecks of flax plants embedded in the fabric, which adds to the appeal. Washing seriously crinkles the fabric, and I had to iron it flattish again. That'll keep happening, I expect, until the fabric fully relaxes.
He put 'more linen towels like you made' before on his Christmas list. He uses them daily for his home-based baking business. I've also made him a couple of linen aprons. He loves how well linen performs, very absorbent and easily laundered. I know what he means! I made myself some too. Great product.
Another great fabric!
Made towels for myself and my friends, also made a few shopping totes - so practical ang handy! I sell them at me Etsy shop ChooseLinen.com
Quick and easy gifts are dish towels made from the linen striped toweling, and they are very much appreciated. I get great feedback.
I have purchased many yards of fabric from you but these I don't care for. The amount of sticks and plant debri is crazy . My finger tips are sore from tring to remove the sticks from the weave. I would ask for a refund but the fabric has been washed.These were going to be made into towels for Christmas gifts but I will make something else.
Very nice fabric.
I made four dish towels from this linen. It was so nice to work with and retains shape after washing. I love to use it for drying dishes!
There's something magical about linen dish towels. This fabric is timeless and a pleasure to work with.
Made my towels on a Saturday afternoon. Just want to go wash dishes now! So very soft.
This is the best towel fabric. Made a few for myself .. now I want to replace all my towels :) And make gifts for my married children.. I love this site.
Finished Projects
I used this fabric for my tote bags, also they are listed in my Etsy shop ChooseLinen.com
I combined striped toweling with medium weight natural to create an artsy jacket.
I have added a beautiful cross back apron in XS to XXL to my website: lelinquotidien.com and it is a bilingual site. The English home page is: lelinquotidien.com/en/
I took the heavy, striped canvas I bought to make dish towels (per fabrics-store suggestion) and made upholstered cushions for our Casita Freedom Deluxe camper instead. I used 4C22 natural for the sides and backs. This model of camper comes with two swivel chairs but we wanted to make bunk seats that could convert to a bed. My husband made the boxes for the cushions. The heavy linens were easy to sew with and look very nice together. I used thin cording to make the natural linen piping around the cushions. The back sides overlap. The end sides are sewn to the 5" gusset but the other two sides are held together with Velcro so it's easy to insert the 5" foam pieces. The 26" wide bed is very comfortable too.

I loved working with this fabric. Just iron in the hems in place then stitch. Super fast to make these four towels.
Freshly washed and dried towel.
Thu fabric was a dream to work with. I make for both brick and mortar, along with my online shop catherinemadeit1884.etsy.com
