IL020 COBALT Softened - 100% Linen - Light (3.5 oz/yd2)
At a lighter weight of 3.5 ounces this 100% linen is woven with finer threads to give it a smoother appearance. Referred to as lightweight or handkerchief linen, this fine, but surprisingly sturdy linen brings new meaning to the term "sheer elegance".

Beautiful color!
A great fabric and color, washes, sews like a dream.. Made a Tina Givens dress with this and it has such a wonderful drape and feel.
Cobalt
Classy colour. Perfect for hot Ozzie summer. Lovely weight in the heat
Feels wonderful
This is the first time I've bought the IL020 and I was pleasantly surprised! I usually buy IL019 at 5.3 oz or 4C22 at 7.1 oz - this stuff felt so nice and billowy right out of the dryer. I only made a scarf from it so no sewing, just washed and frayed but I'm sure it's a dream to sew. Color matches what's on my monitor.
Lovely quilt backing
I used this for a quilt backing paired with double gauze. So soft and lovely. Perfect for snuggling.
Lovely!
The color is so rich, the fabric so soft! I sew by hand and this is a pleasure to use. It is lovely to wear as well, so light and airy, but still covers.
A pleasure to sew
I made Grainline Pattern's "Gallery Tunic" and it went together so easily. The fabric is smooth & luxurious, a rich blue that I'm sure I'll use again.
Lovely
This is beautiful fabric. I wish I'd read he reviews before ordering though as it is more of a denim color than the dark navy as it looks in the photo. I won't make this mistake again. The color is fine for what I have in mind though and the quality of the fabric is excellent.
Perfect Linen
I recently purchased Cobalt to make the new bias dress from the Merchant & Mills Workbook. The linen was a dream to sew. I will definitely be purchasing more linen from FS.
I love this linen!
It is beautiful, soft, luxurious and a dream to sew. The color matches the color image. There was very little shrinkage. This fabric is everything you could hope for it to be!

This is a beautiful dark navy color. I wore it all summer, and am now returning to purchase some to create a ultra comfortable stylish and modest maternity dress. There is no maternity dress anywhere for sale that will match the beauty of a dress in this linen!

beautiful!
I agree with the other two reviews...this fabric is really beautiful. It's light-weight but not flimsy, see-through or easily wrinkled. I expect to make a beautiful summer dress out of it. The price, quality and speed of delivery was outstanding.
Beautiful Look and Feels so soft!
I was looking for a good Navy for my shawls and thought I would try the cobalt.. This fabric is more than meets the eye online.. in hand it is exquisite! The color is a dark indigo "navy" blue..
Quick delivery of luxurious linen!
This is my second purchase of this linen. I make decorative tea towels and table toppers. (Actually, I made ONE and all my friends went goo-goo and placed orders.) The weight for both is excellent, and it takes the machine embroidery beautifully. Ironing the fabric is a cinch with a hot steam iron. Honestly, there is no comparison between cotton and linen tea towels...linen is luxurious, supple, and has a sheen that won't quit. I recommend it thoroughly. Thanks so much!!
I cut an 82" x 15" piece of this linen and washed it to fray the edges, then brought it along with a bag of embroidery floss, a chalk pencil, needles and scissors on a month long trip to New Zealand as a free form slow stitching scarf project while traveling. I love how soft the linen feels after stitching it for a month to make a keepsake I'll wear for years to come.
Custom Linen Golf Hat
Bought a bolt of the cobalt blue for bedroom drapery. Absolutely love how it drapes. It is such a beautiful piece in the room. I had to add drapery tape at the top to get it to sit just right and not sag (since the drape is 10' and it is a lot of weight to put on the top where it hangs). I bought 2+ bolts in white too for my living room and LOVE it.
Kriss pattern from Tina Givens in this wonderful linen.
Maternity dress using Kwik Sew 3486. Beautiful weight, LOVE how it turned out, very fine and graceful.
