IL019 All-purpose Blue Heaven Softened - 100% Linen - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2)
The misty turquoise of BLUE HEAVEN Linen
defined the art of 19th century French Symbolist Pierre Puvis de
Chavannes, forming distant mountains, hazy shadows or endlessly
entrancing blue water.
When France was facing political turmoil
after
the Franco-Prussian War, Puvis' mystical, icy blue scenes suggested a
a wondrous, escapist world beyond our own to disappear into. His pared
back color schemes and clean, pure lines are the essence of
sophisticated refinement, for which he argues, "the simplest conception
proves to be the most beautiful."
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 59 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.
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).

The feel and color of this linen is better than expected. I can't wait to begin working with it.
Beautiful color! Fast shipping. I cut n hand fringe linen napkins and sell them on my Etsy shop. etsy.com/shop/thetuftedloft Thank you for sharing my information with your customers. Will be adding this color to my shop in the Spring. Definitely will order from this company again.
light denim blue shade
one of the most popular colors of my face mask design.. calling it denim blue...
The 2nd time I've ordered this IL019 linen and I'll probably be ordering other colors too. I ordered extra so I could make an infinity scarf with frayed edges and it turned out beautifully. It keeps it's fluffiness while you wear it so it stays fluffy around your neck, plus it gives warmth while being lightweight and breathable. Also made a tunic.
Heavenly linen
I purchased a bolt of this lovely medium-light blue linen last summer, for an 18th century reenactment event that takes place at my dad's childhood home. It was the perfect color and weight for my new shortgown and petticoat, neither a wimpy baby blue nor the royal blues that I tend to gravitate toward. Now I'm using more of it for a Viking serk I'll wear in the SCA, and then I'll use some for a fitted undergown for under a côtehardie, also in the SCA. I hope you still have it when I run out!
This is our wedgewood blue linen book with journaling inside pages. We sell this to wedding and baby shoppers. Excellent fabric. Shows a monogram nicely. Come look at our selection; waycooldesigns.com We are having our biggest sale currently $20.00 off each book we sell. Best wishes, Susie
Posting a photo to help get a sense of the color, taken in daylight. Here with "Raspberry." I think some one mentioned periwinkle, but this is imho, definitely blue. "light denim blue" is not far off, or "rich robin's egg blue" maybe. But no hint of purple, to my eye.
1L019 Blue Heaven softened for my Viking Apron dress and coif. Tutorial by Annie Brahe for the apron dress, self drafted for the coif.
I've gotten so much use out of the dress I made with this beautiful linen, it has seen many battles, and it is coming to pieces now after two years, wearing thin and getting holes quickly. I've been patching it with the scraps I saved, but it might be time to order some more BLUE HEAVEN...
Such a beautiful color blue! Fabric is easy to cut and sew. Pattern is Megan Nielsen Dove blouse view B with flare sleeves.
