IL019 MEDIEVAL BLUE Softened - 100% Linen - Middle (5.3 oz/yd2)
Drama is at the heart of Pierre Soulages’ art, and he achieves it through stark, theatrical means. A leader in 20th century European Abstract Expressionism, Soulages pioneered a bold, striking language, combining dark, enigmatic shades of indigo like MEDIEVAL BLUE with jet black, ultramarine and cerulean.
He swept them in grand gestures across his artworks with a seemingly effortless confidence, building thick, juicy brushstrokes up in layer upon layer like sculptural constructs or stage sets. Around them, tiny slivers of white ground become breathing pockets of air and space, just enough to allow us to get lost in his imaginary realms.
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces, this 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.
The cloth is Softened so we have added a softener to give it a silkier hand. The fabric has not been laundered so shrinkage will still have to be taken into consideration (shrinkage depends on fabric weave and laundering method).

Absolutely Gorgeous True Blue
It is so difficult to get just the right balance when dying fabric blue, I had to order samples and choose one. The fabric washed beautifully and is in the queue for cutting. It will be a basic shell with white trim, shorts, and maybe something small from the scraps. How sweet to be able to combine dark blue with white!!
Beautiful color!
I have several projects planned for this elegant dark blue linen: My basic bias cut shell, with white trim is #1. I have needed this to wear with my silk crepe tunic. I also plan to make shorts for my husband - following a pattern made off his favorite pair. I think he will love the comfort of linen as much as I do.
Wonderful color and just gorgeous fabric.
I just bought a small piece of this so I could see the color and use it for something fun if the color was darker than expected. It arrived yesterday and I am blown away by how pretty this blue is! It is a bit more royal than it appears on my monitor, and will make a stunning piece of clothing! I will definitely be getting more!
