Nimbus Cloud Linen's cold blue tone breezes through Joaquin Sorolla's coastal scenes, filling them with the crisp, invigorating freshness of the Spanish coast.
Starched fabric and painted stone buildings flicker in and out of the crisp white air, forming dappled patterns of pastel blue, white and lilac as fresh and cold as the ocean beyond.

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).

I've used this fabric to make a beautiful tower dress with a bias cut collar. It is very sophisticated and elegant and I am pleased with the outcome. Saly, I ordered only a small amount of fabric and would love to be able to have it in my color pallette for future projects, I would love to see it back

Pale, almost white gray

When I first pulled this out of the package, it looked white. But it's actually a very pale gray, and ideal if you're looking for a softer, cool white that won't look too stark against brighter colors. I had planned to pair it with metallic silver trim, and they look perfect together.

A note on the color

Good mid-weight fabric with nice drape. The color is lighter than it appears in the photo (at least on my monitor). It isn't pale gray, it's a gray-tinted off-white; sort of an oyster-shell white.

I made a top sheet.

This is the second top sheet I have made with IL019. The first one is in the beautiful Evergreen and has been on my bed all year. This medium weight linen is wonderful for sheets. It's cool in summer and warm in winter. If you ever come up with instructions for a bottom sheet, you will sell me twice as much fabric. Nimbus Cloud is the perfect off white for the decor in my guest bedroom. I know my guests are going to love the feel of linen.
