SILVER LAKE BLUE’s soaring, luminescent blue stretched out across Helen Frankenthaler’s vast, abstract art, invoking endless blue skies or glassy pools of water.
A pioneer like no other, Frankenthaler made her name in 1950s New York, a leader in the second wave of Abstract Expressionism. Her light, airy canvases broke away from the impasto, painterly surfaces of Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning, introducing watery pools of color filled with depth and light.

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).

Sooo soft!

I made a dress for my mother out of this fabric and she absolutely loves it! The dress is to keep her cool while keeping her out of the sun and she said it really does make a difference. She was pretty skeptical since sue doesn't like wrinkly linen but this stuff really holds up well. It does get a little "rum ply" after a full day but this is not the wrinkly sloppy looking linen that many of us think of when we hear that term. Its soft and lovely and not see through.

This is one of my favorite Fabrics Store colors. A gorgeous clear blue. I can always count on very fast shipping and top quality fabric when I purchase here. And unlike other linen suppliers, yardage is cut generously with a couple of extra inches. Thank you!!
