IL019 TURQUOISE Softened - 100% Linen - Middle (5.3 oz/yd2)
Dusk was James Abbot McNeill Whistler's favorite time of day, when cool temperatures and dwindling light turned colors into an ambiguous, enigmatic haze.
Nuanced shades of blue and green like that of TURQUOISE Linen allowed him to convey this bracing evening light as it stretched across misty skies and open expanses of freezing water, merging the two into one. A leader in the aesthetic movement of the 19th century, Whistler blended music, poetry, and art together in these tranquil, mesmerizing scenes, writing, “As music is the poetry of sound, so is painting the the poetry of sight.”
Our Turquoise is not your typical lighter, brighter blue like the gemstone, but rather a unique blue with a green undertone and a subtle touch of grey.
At a medium weight of 5.3 ounces, this 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).

beautiful color
lovely blue in person. can't wait to make this addition to my closet
Never disappointed with my purchase. Beautiful colors and textures. Love the comfort of linen
So happy to have found this site! Linen is my favorite fabric! I found you looking for Roman shade fabric and am now rebuilding my wardrobe. This color is fantastic. I made a simple shift. It went together like a dream and I am wearing it everywhere. I believe it will wear like iron!
The best on both price and quality!!
Linen for Tina Givens patterns
I bought several colors of linen for my Tina Givens patterns. They are all in the medium weight, and I love all the colors I got. I would like for Fabrics-Store to say if the color is for a warm or cool skin tone, especially the greens and browns. I washed them all in the machine, machine dried (but not bone dry) and they are all fine, ready to press and cut out my patterns. I also appreciate that they come wrapped in plastic, for the chance that it is raining when the delivery leaves on the front porch.
Sewing as Therapy
I am pleased with every piece of linen that I have ordered. I love the variety of textures and colors. I am disabled and sewing is my outlet for expressing my creativity and need to be productive. I even use the plastic bag that the fabric comes in. I cut it open and trace patterns on it. When the box arrives in good shape, I can cover it with fabric, not my good linen, to make a storage piece. Although I think I think that the shipping cost is high, I am satisfied with everything about the Fabric Store.
Love the fabric, I am a linen lover, I am making a dress, but haven't started as yet. Very happy with my purchase, will be ordering more.
Perfect weight for our Spring, Summer and Fall weather. Beautiful and unassuming color. Plan on making a Style Arc EME dress. Please tell me how to wash and dry. So many reviews are inconsistent.

We're glad you love your linen :) We have recommendations for washing and drying in our Help Center. I've listed a link to the helpful article for you below. Essentially cool/warm delicate to normal wash, and low heat setting on your dryer. Pull your linen out when it is still a little damp and iron with lots of steam on your highest heat setting. support.fabrics-store.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000218543-Linen-Care-washing-linen
I love this linen. It's a perfect weight for a blouse. The color is IL019 Turquoise, middle weight, 5.3 oz. Couldn't be happier.
Turquoise
The Turquoise fabric is not what I would have bought had I seen it in person, as it just isn't a true turquoise to me. As an artist, I expected a different intensity. The fabric IL019 itself has a nice hand, but I know from experience with many of the other colors, it fades a bit after washing. I wish did not happen. Since I don't purchase enough of the fabric at a time to not have to pay shipping, I figured that I might as well keep it, Rather than pay to send it back.
I just received a few yards of this and it is so beautiful that I just want to spend some time petting it. I think it is going to be made into my favorite linen pants pattern. Gosh! this is beautiful! Grayed tones to it. Will be good. What bit of joy to open up in this scary world!
The linen is lovely quality but the color is much more blue than turquoise and lighter. Other colors I have ordered (besides Meadow handkerchief weight) have been very accurate
This color is almost dead-on the same color as Blue Heaven, so isn't the lovely deep-ish turquoise shown in the swatch online. In fact, the color is so close I almost could use the same thread. It's very pretty, but not turquoise. I'm giving it three stars only because of the color mismatch/misnomer; otherwise, the linen itself is divine.
I have had this colour in my stash, for quite a while. This week I purchased Stylearc EME pattern, and suddenly this was the perfect colour to use. I made up the dress, using this colour, paired with black,, and the dress is stunning. Sometimes, its just a matter of the right colour being there, when the right pattern comes along. All the more reason to fill your stash, with tons of Fabric-Store linens. The very best I have found.
My favorite color in the whole world
It's a medium greyed green-turquoise, very close to what my laptop shows with the screen upright.. I will be making a princess-seamed tunic with it. Maybe decorated with card-weaving. It goes perfectly with my favorite long multi-color skirt. Already thinking of other projects for this color. Sphinx is a dark teal, (Meadow goes with it). Bayou Blue is much greyer than this Turquoise.
This turquoise is the most beautiful color. It is not that gaudy turquoise color seen in the big box stores today. I'm sorry I can't tell you how it washed or sewed since I am still debating patterns to use. Looking forward to working with linen-my first project.
I absolutely LOVE everything about this fabric - the color, the drape, the weight...did I mention the color????? After washing, it is absolutely exquisite! Made a beautiful tunic top and ordering more - considering a whole bolt!!!!
My order for the turquoise linen just arrived. OMGoodness - it is the most exquisite color I have ever seen in linen. I'm going to make a baby boy suit with a small amount of lace on it...It will be outstanding. I would like to tell all your customers that this turquoise is to absolutely die for. Thank you so much - every order I have had has been awesome....My collection is growing......
I love this color. My sister asked me to make some fabric bins for her in turquoise. The bins turned out beautifully. I will be buying more fabric from your company soon. Thanks
This is not a bright pale turquoise (like the actual stone) but the color of a stormy northern ocean. I am in LOVE with this color. Tonally it matches my monitor but there is something that reveals itself in person. That sort of greenish hint that isn't green, it isn't teal, it's just my favorite color blue on earth. PLEASE keep this color in stock. Also, sewing with it is a DREAM.

I made shorts for my granddaughters with the left over fabric, from the Willow Tank Dress, picture taken with natural lighting. I love this easy to sew fabric.
Perfect comfortable fabric for the Texas summers. The color and weight of this fabric is just what I was looking for to make the Willow Tank Dress, pattern by Grainline Studio, picture taken with indoor lighting. I love this easy to sew fabric.
The linen I used has a beautiful TURQUOISE shade that really shines in the light, and has a great balance that feels neither sheer or heavy. It's also very soft and easy to work with.
A simple linen dress with pleats gently shaping the front, showcasing wonderful handmade ceramic buttons with dragonflies painted on them. I've had the buttons for some years; the fabric was a perfect match.
A bit brighter than expected from the color on my screen but gorgeous nonetheless for a drop sleeve work dress of my own design. More photos on my IG: ellaharp
Beautiful fabric. My first project using this linen and the Cara Pattern from your site. I wasn't sure of my size so I ended up making it too large. When finished I put a pleat in each shoulder to narrow it down and cut the neck line deeper, then added the buttons. Next one I'll make a few inches longer and probably no pockets or at least smaller. I'm 5'3" and shorter on my left side so it takes some tweaking. It gets better and better and is now my favorite!
Made these Free Range Slacks from Sew House 7, and really love the color and texture of this fabric. I biked in these pants the day after I finished them, which is the real testament to their durability!
I love the combination of turquoise on the top and mixed natural on the underside of my flanged duvet. The texture is simply scrumptious!
Pieced quilt top using all my mid weight linen scraps from couple years of FS purchases and projects...will back with much simpler pieced turqoise, meadow and mostly black.
This is the main entrance to my shop, I slipcovered the love seat with the 7.1 oz. NATURAL MIX (softened). I made the curtains using 5.3 oz. TURQUOISE (softened).
Love this for fabric bins
