IL019 All-purpose Japanese Blue 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.

When buying a 'bolt' of fabric (so tempting!) does the fabric come on a long tube, a flat box roll (like fabric stores) or just folded and bagged? Thank you!

I am making a whole cloth shashiko quilt and am looking for a linen that is close to Indigo in color. Is your Japanese Blue close to Indigo or is one of your others closer to my desired color? Thank you for your time and help!
F|S Team
We do not sell indigo color, indigo color has a lot of shades and it's hard to tell you if Japanese Blue color will be the color you looking . The best way to order sample swatches of Blue shades you like and review the actual colors .Our colors and basics are available for purchase as 2x3.5 color chips for $1.50 each - if you click on the color you are wanting it will take you to a larger description page where you will be able to click on the button that says order sample.
I think the Japanese blue is closer to indigo because they used that color a lot.
Will this fabric be coming back in stock? I need 2.5 yards!!!!

We don't currently have an ETA for this fabric's restock. Perhaps you could join our facebook community and see if anyone has it in their stash and are willing to sell it.
Would you consider Japanese Blue the most like navy blue? If not, which color would you suggest?
F|S Team
This color is our very dark navy blue color, while medieval blue is a more true navy, so a little brighter and blue-er than this color.

Hello, We don't have this in our arriving fabrics for July, so I'm unable to tell if we will get it back in stock at this stage. Please keep checking back and keep your eyes on our emails for new stock replenishments.
Why isn't a width included in description? You say not as wide, and preshrunk, which is a new item completely.
F|S Team
This linen 57 inches wide.
I'm wondering how this blue compares to your dress blue color? Is it even darker navy? Thank you!
F|S Team
It is a shade below the Dress Blue it is not as dark in color and has a slight red undertone.
The signature finish linen washes up so soft and drapey, and the Japanese Blue color is lovely. A genuine, dark indigo.
Not able to leave a review but wanted to thank customer service for outstanding help with {my error) yardage shortage - project delayed and now I may complete with help from the fabulous team at your store!!!!! Also noted: the new Japaneseblue color linen with that wonderful finish is out of this world! I have been a customer for years and remiss in customer reviews -shame on me - this shop is fabulous and the linen fills my house and closet (oh and a few freinds who love the natural feel of linen) shoutout for a great product and outstanding customer service - price is very reasonable for high end linen!
The Cobalt and the Japanese Blue are a similar color but the Japanese blue is a bit darker.
I used Simplicity 2189 (OOP) to make these summer pants from the Japanese Blue IL019 linen.
I used this linen to make pillowcases for a gift. I used O19 bleaced softened to make the pillowcase borders. I wanted to use sashiko embroidery for decoration and O19 was a perfect weight for me to use. it worked up beautifully, and as always, the linen was easy to sew and came out beautifully.
so subtle and elegant, beautifully executed and inspiring!
Made curtains for bedroom. Lets ion breeze and filters the sunlight
I modified the Oona dress pattern to add a gusset and shorten to tunic length. Fabric is Japanese Blue SF Linen. I'm really pleased with how this turned out.
I love the quality of linen and how well the fabric stands up to constant wear as I have purchased from them in the past.
