4C22 Rustic Mix Natural Fs Premier Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2), Width 57"
The Natural color thread in this fabric is the earth made color of flax when it has been retted and woven into thread. No dyes, no bleach. The only thing that impacts the color of the cloth from one production to the next ( if it is more beige or grey) is the amount of sunshine and rain that particular flax harvest had.
Bleached linen color thread is made by "stripping" the natural color out of flax ( just like you would with bleaching hair). What you are left with is a very soft shade that is just ever so slightly an off-white color.
Mix Natural color is achieved with one bleached thread and one natural color thread interwoven together. As a result - you have a grey toned natural color that is a great compliment to all other colors.
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 Premier Finish undergoes a two-step process to give the cloth a luxurious, supple feel right out of the box.
First, we apply a softener to give the fabric a silkier surface. Then, strong blasts of air are blown into the woven cloth. This beats up the fibers to make them softer and mimics the fiber bending process that the fabric undergoes when you've used it a lot.
This finishing process gives the fabric a much softer and more luxurious hand. It will be less prone to deep creases and have less linting. Shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration based on the fabric type ( thread size, count, weave type).

Customer Questions and Answers
Hi, I was told the 4C22 MIx Natural Heavy weight fabric would be too heavy for Trousers or a mens suit in the summer time, but I see a couple of people made trousers and a two piece suit and they love the fabric, drape and overall outcome of the garment. Why don't I see the 4C22 Mix Natural in a medium weight? Thanks
F|S Team
4C22 is suitable for summer, but some people in very hot climates prefer the mediumweight. The mix-natural on mediumweight has sold out.

Can this be used for curtains? Wanting a heavier fabric that I will line for an east facing master bedroom. Thank You
F|S Team
Yes this is a very popular choice for drapery when a heavier linen is needed.
If you're looking for a heavier weight linen but is soft and voluminous with a neutral and natural look this is your fabric. It makes a wonderful weight for curtains that givesoff a rich organic look and feel.
I just love the weight and fiber blend of this heavy fabric. I am making tea towels from which to embroider designs as gifts. I love how it washes up and the weight seems to decrease the wrinkle potential
I bought 8 yards of 4C22 rustic mix , made a couch cover. It turned out great, the sofa became the focal point of our living room. The fabric has a beautiful drape and the natural color blends in well with all the other furniture pieces.
This was by far the best linen I've ever worked with. The weight is perfect for my apron project and even though I ironed the fabric after washing and drying, they will look just as good with the textured look just out of the dryer with no ironing.
I'm a painter and have been using this linen for several years. It's great to paint on. Four yards is just enough for three paintings. Ordering is simple and it arrives quickly.
I used 4C22 Rustic Mix Natural Fs Premier Finish - 100% Linen - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2) to create a curtain to cover an open linen closet that has wire shelves and is very utilitarian looking. It is at the end of the hall directly opposite the front door. I was going to have a wooden closet built into the receding space. I am so glad I went with the curtain instead! The fabric is absolutely gorgeous and goes perfectly with the other renovations I've made to the bathroom. Prior, I always kept the bathroom door shut, now it is such a beautiful addition that I no longer feel the need to shut the door. I'm planning to make the outer shower curtain from the same fabric only bleached vs. mixed natural.
4C22 Mix Natural (bought two ten-yard lengths almost five years ago, after a trip to Disney convinced the grandsons that they wanted to be Jedi "next time"). Jacket & belt are the 4C22 Mix Natural (used Coats & Clark 8030 thread - as this batch wasn't quite the same color as the IL019 Natural bought more recently). This adult size was view D from Simplicity 5840. The pants are two pieces (left & right) from Simplicity 8587 (Renaissance). There are a child's XL and a child's L for the rest of the kids from Butterick 5175 (Star Wars pattern from 1997). I used the dickey and belts from the Adult/Teen pattern (in smaller sizes) instead of the Star Wars and sized down the dickey to make all of them identical four pieces. The dickey is one of the linen & cotton blends for shirt - so it's all FS fabric. I can't wait to see the boy's eyes! I have 4C22 Kenya for cloaks - but it's going to be too warm in Orlando, Florida, even in October for cloaks. Grandma does NOT want to be carrying three cloaks around after the first little while at the parks. Oldest grandson is tall for his age, so this is the XL size pattern. Grandma's dummy is not male, but it's supposedly "unisex", as the 5840 is going to be used (with a modification) for the hooded cloak with sleeves that Ben Kenobi wears in the first movie. Their younger cousin is staying with them for a while, so she's coming along and I made the third Jedi outfit in her size. We adults have to avoid looking like we're in costume. Drat....
Stomacher gown made with a custom pattern, based on Larkin and Smith's English gown.
So easy to work with this linen and now I have a perfect jacket to dress things up a bit! I used the free Mariana pattern and am very happy with it, thank you!
Here is a picture of the slipcover I made using 4C22 Rustic Mix Natural Fs Premier Finish - 100% Linen - Heavy (7.1 oz/yd2) Retired the last slipcover- made from your IL019 Natural mix after 8 years of heavy use, regular washings and two young cats. This one is a little heavier and lays a bit more smoothly. A breeze to sew. Note: be sure to pull a thread for projects this large to make sure your pieces are straight and hang perfectly... Next will make slipcovers for nearby chair out of both the Rio red (winter) and Allure blue (summer) french ticking. This furniture gets daily heavy wear so washability matters!
