IL019 All-purpose Heron Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2) - 20.00 Yards, Width 58"
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 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
Can I purchase a sample of this?
F|S Team
Please contact us via email so we can send this sample out to you or call us at 1-866-620-2008 for assistance.
Is this a purple blue or a grey purple? Or neither?
F|S Team
We would say it is a little bit of both, we would describe this color as a muted cool purple. if you'd like to see it in person, please consider getting a sample.
Would this make a duvet cover? Would I need to wash before cutting?
F|S Team
Yes, this fabric makes a lovely duvet cover. This fabric has very minimal shrinkage of around 3%, so some people prefer to sew first, then wash.
Can you recommend a matching thread color for this beautiful fabric from the Gutermann line? Thank you.
F|S Team
I am sorry we can not help , we do not sell threads in our fabrics-store.com
Why can't I save this to my wish list??
F|S Team
Hello, Thanks for letting us know that wish list functionality is missing from this fabric. I will let our IT team know immediately.
The color of Heron is wonderful! It doesn't shout "PURPLE!" but it smiles and laughs as it says it. My favorite color of all the offered linens here. I've never been a huge fan of purple, but with this linen color I have been inspired to make shorts with a matching top and I'll make long linen pants with a simple jacket also. You won't be disappointed with this color.

This fabric will be used to make a color block shirt along with a coordinating print. I am not sure which pattern that I will use, but I am excited to see the finished product.
Heron
This is a beautiful shade of purple. It matched a stripe on a linen blouse I already had. It was wonderful to work with. However, I was disappointed that the colour wasn't totally fast. I washed it on cold with a free and clear laundry soap and line dried it. It came out with splotches of a lighter shade. Fortunately, I was able to work around them for the most part, and was able to hide one I couldnt avoid in my back pleat. Mettler Metrosene 0577 is a perfect thread match.
Probably the most beautiful purple color I have ever seen! And the fabric is very lovely
Love this color.
I haven't made anything with my medium weight Heron fabric yet, but so far it seems up to the quality I would expect from FS. My sister's favorite color is a light purple. I originally purchased Wisteria, but found that to be more chambray blue than purple. I ordered Heron as a second attempt, and although it's a little darker than expected, I think it's the closest color they offer to light purple and will make a beautiful gift. I'm always wondering how different colors look compared to other shades and in different lighting, so I thought I'd made a photo showing the two shades in different lighting. My personal impression of the colors is that the outdoor lighting photo feels more accurate. Of course everything looks different on different monitors, but hopefully this is helpful.
This is the skirt I just made. I used McCall's 3419.
