IL019 All-purpose Firecracker Red Fs Signature Finish - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
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.
Our FS Signature Finish was developed exclusively for us using a special process that makes this linen super soft with a comfy, classic look you'll love at first sight.
As a bonus, this process removes almost all of the initial shrinkage, giving you more fabric to get your projects done.
This finish makes the linen as soft as butter. Yep, 100% linen that feels and drapes and sews as no linen you have ever encountered. Because the fabric has been pre-shrunk for you - it will be less than the base cloth width.

Customer Questions and Answers
I served the ends, washed in cold water with a color catcher and dryed on normal. There was some color on the catcher and the material remains soft and lightly wrinkled. I ordered 4 yds and just measured and still have 4 yds after washing and drying. I will be using to create an altar cloth and veil. Nice drape and wonderful color for Reformation Sunday as well as Pentecost.
Vibrant, beautiful red. The linen is silky smooth and soft.
Love Firecracker Red!
I LoVe Linen and yours is unbeatable. Yes, it takes a little more care but it's well worth it. I wash cold water and dry on a cool dryer. Iron as needed and always feel cool and crisp. I get compliments and always give referrals as I know nowhere else to buy linen as well priced and as durable as yours.
This fabric made a great dress. The weight is heavy enough not to need a lining on the full skirt, but feels light and soft. I would describe the color as being more on the blue side than orange. Maybe kind of a pinkish red. I can take it out of the dryer and wear it without ironing, for a casual look. Ironing imparts a more crisp, dressy look. I prewashed in warm and dried it twice before cutting. Yes, there is plenty of lint in the first couple of washes. I don't object to this. That's what linen does.
Beautiful color, great drape
This is a beautiful shade of red. I've ordered a number of fabrics from this store and have been extremely pleased with the quality and service. I'm not sure how I will use this one yet but look forward to working with it soon. This is my go to source for linen fabrics.
Enjoyed using this fabric for my first real garment project, the Hinterland dress by Sew Liberated. I love this dress and wear it a lot. People complement the bright often! Red is always in, isn't it?
I am crazy for a good dress. Especially one with buttons going down along the front. The Loren pattern is going to be a fave in my closet. When I received it the first thing I did was pull out all my vintage buttons to put against the beautiful Firecracker Red linen I got.
Although "this" photo looks distorted?? This client and I designed this 3 pc. Outfit. She is Very attached to RED, so when I showed her the quality of the fabric and this awesome color! (actually looks better when not squished)
I chose this I Firecracker Red, my favorite color, to make my Elope top by SewTinaGivens.com. The softened linen was perfect for the inverted pleated sleeves and attached pocket. The Lagen Look design lends itself to linen and yours is the best.
Soft, cool and comfortable for our Texas summer! A dream to work with!
