4C22 Rustic Moonflower Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2) - 20.00 Yards, Width 57"
Ice cold and shot through with mint, the sharp blue of MOONFLOWER linen played a vital role in Pieter Bruegel the Elder's paintings, bringing
fresh light into his rippling water and wide-open skies.
A leading
painter of the Dutch Renaissance, Breugel pioneered a new brand of genre
painting that was larger and more imaginative than ever before,
combining Biblical subjects with elements of mythology and everyday
life. But the color was the driving force in his work, allowing him to
create luminescent scenes that glisten with fresh light.
At a heavier weight of 7.1 ounces 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.
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
Beautiful color! It is somewhere between a turquoise and green blue. I combined 2 of the free patterns (thank you!) and made a dress. It's a bit heavier than I anticipated, but still wonderful to work with and every wash makes it softer and more beautiful.
The color is fun & the fabric is wonderful. I made a pair of cropped pants using the Free Range Slacks by Sew House Seven pattern. Will be making a white light weight linen top to wear with them.
This fabric is gorgeous! I have tried several different colors and weights of FS linen - I love them all - and I just got this beautiful Moonflower 4C22 in the mail. I think this will be gorgeous as a blouse. I made a lot of linen dish towels and napkins for Christmas this year and everybody LOVED them (IL019) I think I will try some quilted placemats next. This moonflower color is true to what I thought it would be from my computer screen. It is so soft, just like all the other reviews, you won't be sorry. I have enclosed a very informative video on how linen is made from the flax plant for those of you who love linen like I do. How linen is made: m.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZrZZefkohE Debby
I adore this color. I used it to make canopies for the ceiling of our new screened porch. The color looks very different in this photo. It's really a beautiful bright aqua, just like in the F-S pictures.
