IL019 All-purpose Marlin Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd2), Width 58"
Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky was one of the 20th century’s greatest pioneers, spearheading a bold new language of abstraction that would alter the course of art history. He was particularly fascinated by the sonorous possibilities of color, and how symphonic arrangements of light and dark could convey rich and complex emotions.
No color was out of bounds in his brilliantly hued artworks, but he often leaned towards bluish purples like that of MARLIN Linen for his base tones, because its cool, shadowy tone could invoke the mysterious and atmospheric shadows of dusk.
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).

Customer Questions and Answers
With just a slight leaning toward purple, this is an absolutely lovely shade of blue! I purchased a small amount initially, because I wasn't sure how the color would appear in real life, but I am completely sold. I am hoping for this to come back in stock soon because, now that I have seen it, I love it and have many plans for it.
Gorgeous blue
I ordered a yard of this to make two tea towels. This color is not your ordinary blue and I was so pleased when I opened it up. It's a rivh ultramarine blue with just a hint or purple. Really beautiful and I will definitely order more.
Doggie bag 1yard piece used for outer fabric of Helen's Closet Wildwood vest (expansion pack with collar; high hip version). Used flannel for batting and yarn dyed cotton for lining. Quilting cotton for double fold bias. Linen looks great quilted!
I loved making this dress-super cool and great colors
