IL073 Narrow Width 966 - 100% Linen Fabric - Very Heavy (9.1 oz/yd²), Width 19"

Beautiful rustic look for placemats--I mixed and matched the various prints for 8 placements. Was going to give as gifts, but loved them too much myself!! DEFINITELY shrinks. Needs ironing after drying to barely damp stage. The selvedge does not tighten up as much in shrinking as the fabric so the edges again have a rustic not finely pressed look. Easy to work with.

I bought a couple of 1/2 yard pieces of this from the Doggie Bag to make some dishcloths with. When I received it I was very impressed, it looked way better than it did online, now I am thinking I might want to make a grocery tote bag out of it instead. I bought a different color previously and made dishtowels and I love them. I would still like to get some more sometime to make placemats, it would be perfect for that purpose as well.

This fabric definitely shrinks and needs a good ironing after being washed, but it is beautiful. I love the heavyweight and rustic appearance balances with the linen hand.

This is not particularly my cup of tea, but my mother-in-law was unhappy with her burlap placemats that refused to hold together. I immediately ordered this and the white stripe, and i think they should hold up very nicely for her. I just followed the tutorial, and three of my daughters (5,4,&2) were able to help pull strings to fringe them. Much more pleasant than working with burlap, and it should be the aesthetic my mother-in-law wanted.

I made kitchen towels for myself & as gifts. Personally I don't like them. They are not absorbent and very scratchy. After washing come out of the dryer in a ball of wrinkled mess. I have used for over a year now in hopes that they would soften & get better but these were a disappointment

It shrunk as stated on website. No surprises there. I serged the raw edges first and then machine washed the fabric on hot and dried on hottest setting in clothes dryer. It wrinkled but not too bad, then steam ironed on hottest iron setting. I then cut my desired length for dish towels and finished the raw edges by serging, folding over 2x, then straight stitch. I am very please how they came out. The blue stripe towels appear shorter than the other towels in the picture hanging on the line and that is because I slipped up and cut that fabric piece into 4 towels vs. 3. No matter, still long enough to be useful. The fabric has such a nice rustic feel to it and they dry faster than the cotton towels. I am gifting most of the towels away, but keeping a few for myself! Very pleased with the hand of the fabric.

I really love this fabric for dish towels. It is very textured and dense which I really like but some may not. Really great absorption and feels great on the hands.

Loved the color of this fabric, and reading the reviews I intended to make dish towels. I bought 8 yards. I cut one yard off and hemmed each end and washed it in hot water three times to soften it. It's still too rough like burlap and not usable as a dish towel. It also shrinks to 15 1/2 inches when laundered. Unfortunately because I cut one yard off the end, they won't except a return of the remaining 7 yards.

This was my first buy for linen. I love these and will only use linen for certain things. I made my towels, then napkins from a cheaper navy blue linen from elsewhere, I won't buy cheaper again. These are great quality products at great prices. First run I got so many ideas to sew.
