It really does just look like greyish unbleached linen. Linen colour varies considerably depending on how it's been processed. I'll see if I can dig out a postcard showing a grey finish that's considerably different from the yellow tones above and some samples of linen thread (I may not have any anymore, but I'll have a look). If you're unfamiliar with what unbleached linen can like you might be suprised how much the colour varies. The Fokkers just look like unbleached 'crudely' processed linen to me...

Have fun
