4C22 Rustic Mix Natural - 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.

Customer Questions and Answers
Does the Mix Natural come in softened? I have a sample of the Premier finish. What is the regular Mix Natural feel?
F|S Team
At this time we do not have in stock 4C-22 Mix Natural Soften. Regular Non-softened (no finish) linen will have a stiffer hand, but will eventually soften to that nice supple hand that all linens come to with wash and use. You will need to consider shrinkage here as well (7-10%).
Hi, Is this 4C22 Rustic Mix Natural fabric better for Fall mens clothing vs Summer Garments? Also, can it be washed to soften the fabric a little?
F|S Team
Hello, This fabric is suitable for both summer and fall garments. Some people in very hot climates prefer our lighter weights for summer, but the 4C22 heavyweight is still lovely and breathable. Yes, this fabric will soften up over time with repeated use and washing. You can also purchase our linen softening potion for immediate results.
What weight fabrics for bath towels? Is 4c22 in Rustic mix natural 7.1 oz weight. A good choice. What weight is the blue bath towel pattern?
F|S Team
Yes we recommend the 4C22 fabric for towels in our Milos downloadable towels pattern. If you want something more substantial and thicker, you can also try our IL090 fabric too!
Hello, I am so interested in purchasing tthis fabric but can you tell me if the color is more gray or beige in real life. I really can't tell on the screen.

I havé purchased thé mixed linen over and over again. It's versitile— Î've made slacks, shorts, jackets and slipcovers for a 114in. Sofá. It washes to a luscious texture that Just keeps looking beautiful. Be aware there is some residual shrinkage over thé Life of thé item, be sure to leave a bit-o-extra length on longer items.
While I've been buying your linen for several years and love it all, a couple of years ago I discovered the heavy weight variety. It is heavy, for sure, but its weight makes it that much more special. I've made two or three dresses & now swear by the stuff! I have even sat on a plane for hours in these dresses and arrived almost wrinkle-less!
Rustic dinner napkins
I made 14 large dinner napkins with mitered corners. I ordered 5 yards and had fabric to spare. I am very pleased with the results!
I used 4C22 Mix Natural to make the Akira wrap pattern into a robe (I made the pattern longer). It's perfect. This fabric feels luscious and I will be making many more things with it. Truly the best robe ever. I can't wait to make the capris and a cardigan and anything else I can think of using this fabric.
I order bolts of this fabric quite regularly, however the past few rolls were so stiff and slubby - not impressed! There were also lots of little fibers poking out, it's no comparison to the bolts I previously purchased! I'd like to continue purchasing bolts, but if they continue to come like this, I may need to find them elsewhere.
Ordered two yards to make bath towels - start simple. The hand after washing in hot water and drying on high is beautiful! Get these towels done and move on to garments. The customer service was outstanding. The lady gave me the impression she cared. Appreciate that very much. Blessings - Colleen
This is such a beautiful fabric that goes with everything!
I am so thrilled with this fabric, it is stunning quality and so easy to work with. Will definitely be ordering more soon!!!!
So happy I can make tops & sun dresses out of this heavy weight and not have to worry about wearing a camisole ! Southeast Texas humidity is brutal . This weight is a winner.
I purchased the natural linen to make a cross back apron. This linen is amazing , I told my friend it was like butter so easy to sew on the curves of the apron. This by far the nicest linen fabric I have used.
Made a Revolutionary War rifleman's frock. This linen is amazing to work with and super soft after 1 washing. Love it!
I used 4C22 Rustic natural to make this Sotak Melinda Purse (Sotak Patterns on Etsy). It also features Sarah Watts Booknook from Ruby Star Society.
Love this fabric for Elizabeth Suzann's Clyde pants pattern. High waisted, pull on, deep pockets!

Lovely weight and drape on this flannel-lined linen sweatshirt. 4C22 MIX NATURAL. My new go-to hygge pullover for this fall. I finished it the day RBG died, thus it is trimmed with a dissent collar.
I used one yard of DB 4C22 MIX NATURAL to reupholster 3 forgotten-about teak dining chairs that were in my parent's garage. This linen fabric was very easy to work with, and the results were spectacular. I chose this particular linen because I was working with upholstery and I needed a heavy fabric. The shade of linen is very light, but these aren't everyday dining chairs. We are really happy with the way they turned out.
Made this adorable personalized door hanger using 4C22. A great gift sold through Holmesmith.com!
Euro pillow made from the 4C44 100% Linen Mix Natural. I love the texture, colour and organic look of this fabric!
If I could only wear one linen for the rest of my life - it would be this one! etsy.com/shop/shieldsdesignhouse
Clutch with silkscreen on 4C22 and vintage wool. Design from detail of original drawing. My screen shows it as a cool neutral while it is more of a cream but it worked perfectly. It took the water-based silkscreen ink very well, which isn't always the case with textured fabrics. sarah-pike.com
