IL019 ENGLISH ROSE Softened - 100% Linen - Middle (5.3 oz/yd2)
ENGLISH ROSE linen's sumptuous, rustic crimson held great spiritual significance during the Italian Renaissance, clothing figures with indulgent drapes that seem to radiate human warmth. World famous Venetian master Titian painted religious, secular and mythological subjects with this gloriously vibrant red tone; given how rare, expensive and potentially toxic the pigment was he placed it sparingly on the canvas, adding intensity and drama around his central and most prized figures. "A good painter needs only three colours," he mused, "...black, white, and red."
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces, this 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.
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).

I really love this color and the way it feels next to my skin. Easy to sew and work with.
Like most other reviewers, I love the color and hand of this fabric. I made a flowy dress and it hangs beautifully.
Was expecting lovely rose red, but disappointed to find dull brick red. Granted, some roses are orange red, but normally we associate rose red with a cooler toned red... May I exchange to something else since I paid shipping for this?

This is a beautiful shade of warmer rose. Has a very nice drape for a summer dress
Sue's photo at right inspired me to order - the color is warm and natural-looking. I can't wait to order more!
I don't have a good eye for color but I know what I like, and this is it. I plan to use it for an early 14th century overdress to be worn with a green kirtle. The linen has some body so it will hang well. Having worked with linen of this weight from Fabrics-Store.com before, I know it will also launder and wear well.
Anyone who is interested in liturgy would be perplexed to know what truly is 'Liturgical Pink' or 'Rose'. This fabric is very,very close to that very exotic shade that is used only twice a year: once in Advent and the other in Lent. It's a very unique shade; almost a dark salmon or an orangish pink.To call it 'Rust coloured' doesn't do it justice. It is a great fabric for chasubles, stoles or even altar linen to celebrate the joyful midpoint of the two very penitential seasons.
This is a beautiful rose colored linen. It washed up beautifully, and is very high quality. The color is true to the picture..
I was hesitant to buy this after reading reviews describing the color as rusty, but I'm so glad I ordered a sample to decide for myself. Yes, its a warmer rose than one immediately thinks of, but on my monitor, the image is quite close to the actual fabric. It just arrived today and it immediately jumped to the top of my list of favorite linen colors! Its in the washer now, and I can't wait to turn it into renaissance garb. :)
I agree with the reviewer that this color is closer to a sort of rust/orange red than a pink. On my monitor the color appears to be more of a dusky rose. I ordered fabric before ordering a swatch of this color & while the color is pretty it is not what I was hoping for. I don't know who names colors but it's misleading to call this "rose."
I designed this vibrant, convertible dress with the intent to play with it all spring and summer. I appreciate pieces that go the extra mile and this dress is such a bold statement that can be played up or down. I see this at everything from weddings to graduations depending on how you style it. Here I am sharing why, how, and the way it's done in 5 different ways. For this project, I chose to use FS ENGLISH ROSE Medium Weight 100% Linen.

Used the free Fabric-Store tank top pattern with the English Rose IL019 and it was a dream to sew. Shape looks a little skewed in this photo but is actually perfect) I did not have enough linen to make the bias binding for neck and armholes but I'm happy with the look of the contrasting cotton, which does not show when garment is on. Keep that in mind if you use the F-S tank top pattern- a good bit more linen is needed than the 1 to 1.5 yards called for if you want the bias binding in the same linen. The fabric was machine washed and dried twice in warm water before sewing. Garment has a beautiful weight and drape. Another great F-S purchase!
English Rose with Tawny Port in a simple tunic of my own design
Paraments for 4th Sunday in Lent, Rock of Ages Lutheran Church, Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Darling new outfit! Dress made with this gorgeous color from a new Tina Givens pattern.
I made this Regency style dress for the Jane Austen Festival in Bath, England. I love the way it hangs---very nice!
Used this beautiful linen and a coordinating cotton print to make a lovely tunic for my etsy shop, ragged edge linen. Love all your beautiful linens!
Absolutely love this fabric. Such a gorgeous color, very easy to work with and so incredibly soft even before the first wash! I was able to make my husband his own ring sling (pink per request) for our baby girl due later this year.

This is a wonderful "old fashioned" color. I bought it originally to go with a Rio Red skirt. The colors didn't coordinate. So I made a Tawny Port skirt and those two colors look good together. I planned on it just for dancing & performing music (linen is great for both as the same top can work for both heat and cold) but end up wearing it a lot with jeans. Love this color; it's subtle.
I love this fabric! I agree with the other reviews that it seems more red than pink, but it works up beautifully. I cut it with rotary cutters and it came out very smoothly.
An unusually beautiful terracotta rose shade, this versatile linen makes for a strong, breathable carrier. From the collection at lilpeeperkeepers.etsy.com

16th century Florentine dress - A reproduction of a gown in a painting called "The Preaching of Saint John the Baptist", by Bacchiacca, 1520. Constructed mainly from IL019 English Rose. In reality, I think the color is a bit darker - more red/orange, and less pink - than the product image shows.
