IL019 All-purpose Parchment Softened - 100% Linen Fabric - Medium (5.3 oz/yd²), Width 59"

The great Dutch-American Abstract Expressionist Willem de Kooning made paintings as acts of performance, smearing, slapping, and swiping great slabs and wedges of paint onto his thickly impastoed surfaces, before scraping them back and starting again.
Indulgent, creamy streaks of off-white like that of PARCHMENT Linen were a defining feature, suggesting the flickering movement of pale flesh, sunlit windows or sheer, suspended curtains hanging between one world and another. He made these pale shades by mixing bright pigments with huge mounds of white oil paint, furiously mixing and mixing them into a thick goo on his palette until the ideal color eventually emerged.

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).
