A sophisticated reversible linen that can be turned down for a contrast or used as one or the other. Endless possibilities as this is like getting two for one.

Linen is great for skin, water absorbency, and ease of garment care.
However, and I will be first to say, plain weave linen is too "flat" and not my first pick for items that need "snuggle volume".
Jacquard linen comes with "snuggle volume" but is just so heavy.

Having access to fabric engineers really helps... Allow me to introduce the double-sided IL028, 62 inch wide 100% linen fabric. Design created exclusively for F|S.

This cloth is only 6.6 ounces a square yard so just a smidge heavier than the All-Purpose medium weight.  

How does it get the snuggle volume? The trick is in the weaving technique... the cloth is double sided. Not like reversible, but as in woven with two fabrics that are interconnected into one cloth throughout the surface area.

Once the fabric goes in the first wash and dry - if fluffs up everywhere the 2 sides aren't connected. It will shrink about 8% the weft of the fabric ( width-wise) and 8% warp of the fabric ( lengthwise). Shrinkage is based on a warm wash and low-heat dry.

You will feel like a creative genius when you pull the fabric out of the drier.

Double-Sided cloth is perfect for:

  • Robes
  • Placemats and napkins
  • Decorative Pillows
  • Pants and skirts
  • Jackets
  • Curtains
  • Bedding
  • Bags
  • and, of course, Throws

Another Amazing Fabric

I purchased a yard of this thinking that it might match my rock wall in my greatroom as I wanted to make a throw for my couch. I was not sure about the double layer of fabric but decided to take a chance. Boy, was I delighted when the fabric arrived! The fabric is a warm gray with a subtle purple undertone and a layer of the natural linen on the back side. The natural thread comes through to the gray side in tiny stitches to catch the gray linen and bind the two together. I washed it twice, straight stitched the edges so that they would fray naturally and then added a wonky chevron stitch as decoration along the unfinished edge. Oh how I love taking a luxurious afternoon nap with my new throw...it is soft and warm, yet breathable and not too thick and heavy. I have now purchased some of the Charcoal-Natural to make a casual winter jacket for myself...maybe with kimono-style sleeves. This fabric would be so amazing to use for bathroom towels, a bathrobe, napkins, etc. Fabric Store, more colors, please.
