IS046 Margaux White / White - 73% Linen / 27% Cotton Fabric - Heavy (7.7 oz/yd2), Width 114"
You may have had the pleasure of working with our trickster weave fabrics - the ones that arrive flat and ordinary, but upon first contact with the washer and drier, they shapeshift into something deliciously textured and absolutely unique.
This cloth is 114 inches wide and 7.7 ounces a square yard which qualifies it at the top of the scale of heavyweight fabrics.
Woven with 73% linen to keep us cool and humidity-free and 27% cotton to be fluffier and voluminous.
The fabric arrives flat with subtle patterns that can be seen in the interweaving of the threads. This weaving technique comes with a delightful surprise once it goes through its first wash and dry. It fluffs up everywhere the threads are not interwoven.
To give it the volume the cloth needs to be a textured - the cloth is built to shrink. The styles will pucker differently based on their weave. They will shrink about 8% on the width ( weft going selvage to selvage) of the cloth and about 24% on the length ( warp of the cloth). Shrinkage is based on a warm wash and low-heat dry.
Design created exclusively for F|S - you just pull the fabric out of the drier and feel like a magician.
This wide cloth is perfect for:
- Robes
- Curtains
- Decorative Pillows
- Jackets
- Throws
- Towels
- Picnic and beach blankets
- and, of course, Bedspreads

Customer Questions and Answers
Hi I bought Margaux for curtains. I can't hem before washing due to shrinkage, should I hem after washing?
F|S Team
I reached out to our in-house sewing consultant and she recommend hemming after washing since this fabric is going to shrink, especially on the length, but it is also going to stretch out when hung. So hem after washing and after the curtains have had time to hang for at least 24 hours and set into their new position
How much fabric would I need for a king size bedspread? Would I have to seam in the middle? Also, what would the finished dimension be for the 4yd queen bedspread, after laundering?
F|S Team
The information has been emailed to you - please check your in-box.
Do you hem first and then wash?
F|S Team
Yes you would hem first before washing.
Question about color: the pictures on your website look like sort of a cream color. Is that correct, or is the actual color more of a white?
F|S Team
It is more of a cream color, the picture with all of the colors shows it as cream, a bit less yellow than how the smaller pictures show. Monitor colors can vary.
Used all the available colors to make bedspreads and throws. With 3 grandkids and 3 dogs - this is the only way to reduce the laundry volume. I cover everything, wash the throws as needed, and the bedding/couches stay clean "ish" in the daily ruckus
