IL019 All-purpose Rust Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
Our beautiful Rust color is a warm burnished orange that is definitely not a bright pumpkin orange, but rather a shade that has been refered to as a desert neutral, sophistcated, warm and subtle.
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 inch wide 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).

Customer Questions and Answers
I'm new to the store, and new to sewing. I had a great experience working with this fabric. It's a beautiful rich color and lovely linen texture.
I have been stockpiling linen from this site for years and I have a piece of this color just waiting to be fashioned into something lovely. It washes beautifully and retains it's color well. I fall madly in love with every piece I buy, as I take it out of the dryer! Oh, that heavenly, rumply texture! Exquisite! Quality and price can't be beat!
Just as beautiful as all the other colors this company offers
I recently purchased the softened rust and the softened natural colors to make a tablecloth and napkins for a wedding gift. After washing and drying the linen it was wonderfully soft and ironed well. I found it great to work with and I am completing the project with some embroidery. This will make a beautiful gift for the fall wedding. I couldn't be more pleased with my purchase. Thank you Fabric-Store.com! PS: If I don't forget, I'll post a picture when I finish.
this store came recommended to me by a friend who costumes a lot, due to the quality of fabric. I have neverbeen happier.This color is beautiful and washed up soft with great texture. I buy all my linen from here, I knowI well get what I see with great results.
I made these valances using the Rust fabric as inserts and for the piping as well covering the board they are attached to. I also ordered the Autumn Gold and will be using that as the main fabric for valances in the laundry room which is adjacent to the kitchen (this room). The fabric is a joy to work with and the dye doesn't fade when washed. Thank you fabrics-store.com!
