Robert Kaufman | Essex Yarn Dyed | Lingerie

The perfect light all-rounder for modern quilts

Are you looking for a calm, light blender fabric that lets your quilt top breathe? "Lingerie" from Robert Kaufman's Essex Yarn Dyed series is a soft, powdery off-white tone with subtle warmth – ideal as a background, negative space, or connecting element in modern layouts.

The fine linen texture brings subtle movement to large areas without distracting from the design. "Lingerie" looks particularly beautiful with warm earth tones, soft pinks, navy, or rich autumn colors. In scrappy quilts, it provides balance; in graphic designs, it offers clarity.

With 55% linen and 45% cotton, this yarn-dyed fabric combines natural texture with pleasant sewability. Despite its linen content, it is easy to work with and quilt – perfect for wholecloth quilts, background areas, or modern patchwork projects.
