This is a beautiful quality linen and is well worth the price tag. The colour hasn't come up very well in the photo above, it's closer to the shade on the far right. It's maybe a little lighter than the image on the Kelani website, although as we all know this depends on the calibration of your computer screen as well. In their description of the linen Kelani recommend matching it with Kristen Doran Winter Nest and Matryoshka Doll craft panels. It's slightly thinner than the linen I would normally use for embroidery but I think the weave is tight enough to be used in this way. It would be perfect for almost any craft project.
Would I buy it again? Yes.

I haven't purchased linen lately, but I did finally use my Nest panel today to make a pillow, so I know exactly the colour of linen you are talking about. I'm loving thse reviews and when I go to purchase linen will definitely come back to them.
