IL041 FOG FS Premier Finish - 100% Linen - Middle (5.01 oz/yd2)
19th century painter Alexei Savrasov portrayed stunning, Romanticized visions of the Russian landscape, capturing the sparkling
freshness and icy air of winter when everything was obscured by layers
and layers of snow. Sensitively attuned to the natural world at this
time of year, he carefully observed how subtle shades of bluish-grey
like that of FOG Linen could appear in snowy shadows, or emerge from
puffy passages of cloud overhead, capturing the unique, sparkling light
of a Russian winter wonderland.
Savrasov's pupil, the artist Isaak
Levitan wrote in homage to his teacher, "Savrasov was the father of
Russian landscape painting, and this undisputed merit of his will never
be forgotten in the field of Russian art."
At 5.1 ounces this Open Weave linen has a unique slightly sheer look and feel that sets it apart from other medium weight linens. Open weave does not make it less durable or versatile, just loosely woven.
This linen should be laundered in a cold wash-tumble dried on air setting or very low heat--line dry if possible.
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 ( imagine the cloth being pulled behind you in a convertible going 120 on a freeway for a couple of hours). 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).

Beautiful fabric! Made 2 for Christmas gifts. Have 2 more to finish.
Shawl for a gift
I decided this would make the perfect gift for my sister, the really picky one. It was easy to make and was a very satisfying project. I was having problems getting the tassels to tie neatly so I sewed the pulled threads along the edge and used the needle to make nice neat tie-offs. I was a little worried it warp when I washed it but the edges still looked great.
Mad love for this
I used this fabric to make pashmina style wraps as a gift. I was able to get 2 from a 2yard cut ... So, one for me too. This open weave fabric is so lovely, has a wonderful drape, and so easy to work. The color is a pale blue-gray that works beautifully as a neutral. I wish they had more colors but I plan to buy the white and dye it to what I want. This will become my new Fabrics-Store favorite.
Shawls for my daughter and myself
I am a world traveler and teacher of English. I am stuck stateside because of COVID-19 but am planning for the year when I can return to my vocation. In the meantime, the article and instruction for the shawls made of Fog linen really hit home for me. I knew I would totally use that garment. My daughter also travels, she could have used it on her last trip, so getting two for one yardage was a deal! I know there were other colors but the gray is so universal and we like it. Very excited to make the shawls and give one to her for Christmas.
I made 4 shawls for Christmas presents. I loved working with this fabric. It is soft and even softer after being washed and dried! The color gray is a beautiful shade. I think gray is the new black.
Super Soft and surprisingly warm
Love this fabric. The open weave is breathable, yet it is so soft...made a wrap/shawl which is the perfect weight and warmth for cool summer evenings.
Talk About Sheer
This Linen is like lace ... So soft & sheer. Made the best scarf.
The softest gray ever.
I bought for pillow cases, but was too sheer, so I made scarfs with fringed edges. So light, so soft, so beautiful.
I'm making two scarves from the FOG premier linen. I LOVE this Linen! The gray has a slight cast of blue gray. The weave is loose, and so soft to the touch! One to give as a gift, and the other for myself!
I cut two yards up the length, one thinner for a scarf, one side slightly thicker for my shawl using the pull-a-thread method. Washed them. Fringed them. Absolutely beautiful! Soft and puckered in a perfect way.
This linen was a joy to work with. It makes the perfect scarf to carry in your purse in the summer for those cool restaurants. I ordered 2 yards, as suggested in the tutorial and cut it lengthwise to make 2 scarves.
Christmas gift! Fog linen.
This fabric makes a very nice shawl/scarf. Available from my etsy shop: PamelaKinneide.etsy.com.
Open weave linen wrap - so soft and easy to wear! Available at holmesmith.com.
This my third summer scarf/wrap with this loose weave linen, completely hand stitched. I used the threads that were pulled to make the fringe to hem the sides and to knot the fringe. The fog color is a very light, soft grey.
