Dense networks of green unfurl across Henri Rousseau's tropical paradise, coloring grasses, plants and leaves with the juicy vibrancy of life. But with the richly enigmatic jewel tone of EMERALD Linen he creates mysterious pockets of darkness, where magic and danger lurk in the shadows.

Rousseau never left France, so his mystical jungle scenes are entirely imagined, but he made frequent visits to the Parisian hothouses, the natural history museum and the zoo, places that lit up his imagination with visions of another time and place. Describing the transformative power of the Parisian gardens he wrote, "When I step into the hothouses and see the plants from exotic lands, it seems to me that I am in a dream."



At a heavier weight of 7.1 ounces this 100% linen is referred to as Rustic due to its more textured look and feel. Durable and perfect for projects that require just a bit more substance.

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).

Is this Russian linen?

Is all your linen from Russia? If I purchase, am I supporting Russia in its war against Ukraine?

comfortable, durable sheets

I used the flat & fitted sheets patterns on this site, but I used the 4C22 linen for durability (my husband is hard on sheets) and made my seams vertical rather than horizontal. I LOVE sliding into bed each night--these feel so luxurious. The softness and texture are wonderful even after only one washing. I've used this linen for other items, and know it will continue to soften--now I have wonderful linen sheets, custom sized, in my favorite color--such a treat!

Surprising blue-green

Like the other reviews, I was surprised to see a blue-green shade that I would call spruce. To me, emerald sounds like a four-leaf clover or kelly green. On the monitor, the 4c22 rustic emerald looks quite different from the ILO19 medium emerald.

One of my favorite colors, the green is such a rich hue. Goes great with the wild cherry color!

Made shorts from an old 1990s Style pattern and I can verify that we've been gaslit for the past twenty years...we women did have ginormous pockets in the past. I went to the garden and gathered peppers, cherry tomatoes, and a Japanese eggplant plus my keys all in one pocket. The linen held up to the July 104 degree heatwave admirably.

Easy fitting linen jumper. Perfect alone for warm summer days, layer over long sleeves when there's a chill in the air. Made with 4C22 EMERALD Softened Linen. Washes and wears great! martyjean.com/shop/edie-jumper

Used this linen to make a cactus blanket with linen, cotton batting, and block-printed cactus fabric. Excellent weight and hand-feel. etsy.com/shop/NausikaaTextileArts?ref=hdr_shop_menu
