IL019 All-purpose Folkstone Gray Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
Russian Symbolist painter Mikhail Vrubel created a magical twilight zone
of dwindling daylight hours with grey, purple and blue, capturing the
the moment when reality blurs into dreams. FOLKSTONE GRAY linen’s subtle
violet grey tone was one of his favorite colors because it allowed
him to create subtle areas of mid-toned shadow as the evening quietly
faded into night.
Light and dark tones were enhanced in his paintings to
create believable volume, weight, and form, qualities which were vital
to the atmospheric complexity of his art, as he explained, "I have a
passion for grasping form as fully as possible."
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces this 58 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).

So many other lovely colors this can blend with in my closet! Grays, black, and of course white for summer! But also straw or lemonade which are both muted yellows. The more combinations the fewer items needed! Sustainably and fashion forward!
This is the most beautiful color...a soft gray with a dusty lavender tint to it. I love this color! Planning on making a summer blouse. Great linen!
This fabric is soft and vibrant unwashed and when, washed becomes softer and more subtle in color, more elegant.
Gorgeous
Beautiful chambray shirt color. If you love denim or blue chambray this is the linen for you!
