IL032 Ultramarine Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5 oz/yd²) - 2.00 Yards, Width 59"

The rich, vivid hue of ULTRAMARINE Linen came to define French painter Raoul Dufy's art, filling coastal scenes across the Riviera with the entrancing, deepening shadows of night.
Known today as one of art history's greatest colorists Dufy embraced a joyous, technicolor approach to art, coloring paintings, prints, ceramics and textiles with tones as fresh and sparkling as champagne.
But blue was the one he revered the most, partly because it defined the marine light of France that he so loved. But he also observed blue's inherent purity, noting, "Blue is the only colour which maintains its own character in all its tones…it will always stay blue…whereas yellow is blackened in its shades, and fades away when lightened; red when darkened becomes brown, and diluted with white is no longer red, but another colour—pink."

A middleweight linen that fits nicely between our IL019 and 1C64 just a bit lighter for those wanting an alternative to our All purpose and Luxury Linens.

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).
