4C22 Rustic Asphalt Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2), Width 57"
Our best selling Grey for many years, this slightly faded version brings a vintage vibe to a tried and true color. ASPHALT
linen mimics the tone of Vicken Parson's cool, mid-grey shadows, a color
suggesting the concrete pavements, rain soaked bricks and hardened metal
of the urban jungle.
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
Does your softening process essentially pre-shrink the fabric? I will certainly prewash but I'm figuring yardage pretty closely. If I should expect significant shrinkage, can you guide by how much?
F|S Team
Our softened linen is not laundered and has not been pre-shrunk. Please figure 7-10 percent shrinkage based on our recommended wash instructions that you will find here support.fabrics-store.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000218543-Linen-Care-Pre-washing-and-Washing-your-Linen
is this weight sufficient for reupholstering a couch?
F|S Team
Yes it is and is the most popular choice for upholstery projects.
I am getting a club chair professionally reupholstered. Is the 7oz fabric/weight appropriate for this project? If I order eight yards, can it be delivered on a roll instead of folded? Thanks!

Due to the extra charges the carriers levy on the oversized tube we only ship 20+ yards on a tube.
This is a warm grey. Very nice. I made seat cushions for dining room chairs. Looks very nice against the black chairs. Note to self: always order the extra yard! I had to dig into my scraps to find enough for the last few cushion ties. Love this linen. Always looking for a new project to make from linen!
Linen brings me great enjoyment. Elated to find fabric-store. The colors, textures stir up creativity. I'm sole proprietor of Linen & Pearls sewing. I Focus mainly on bridal & formal. Covid down season allowed me time to sew for myself. I've created a collection of linen garments. I literally sigh the depth of colors, softness & living feel of linen. It's such a treat to sew on this fabric. So passionate I named my business after it, long live linen!
I LOVE this wonderful fabric store!!! I LOVE their linen fabric!! It's awesome!!! I always receive my fabric very quickly. I am VERY HAPPY and will continue to order from them!!
I thought I was reviewing the Asphalt in the IL019. It was the Asphalt IL019 I made the sheet and pillowcase in.
I made a sheet and pillowcase from this Asphalt and Optic White. The contrasting colors are just lovely and the drape is beautiful. Perfect linen weight for sheets.
I made this top with fabrics from the Doggie Bag. 1.5 yds of ice-dyed IC64 Shadow Grey and trim is 1 yd of 4C22 Asphalt. I took the pattern from a store bought top in my closet. The cuff detail is multi-line seams on a strip of selvage and band of Asphalt. The neck line is raw with multi-line seams and a small inner facing. Hem is raw Shadow Gray multi-line seams over a band of Asphalt. Comfy, casual and a bit bohemian. Fabric was a joy to work with.
Perfect weight for drapey, loose-fit pants.
I created this pattern because I had a jumpsuit that I just love and wanted to replicate the style. It is so comfortable, and the weight and heft of this linen lends itself perfectly to it. If I could post a second picture, I would show the pearl buttons I used for the back of the bodice that really go nicely with the linen. So addictive!
Great to stitch on. I am creating blocks with hand overdyed wool for a quilt throw. Here's one of the blocks. I'm not sure if I will put two blocks together back to back, fringing the raw edge allowance, so one side is fringed squares of colors and the other is the whimsical artwork or if I will do these the traditional way. Just thought I'd share a concept for anyone wanting to make home decor or a gift. I love that it is strong and softens as it is washed repeatedly.
