I've used the 5.3 oz (medium weight) primarily; it has a nice drape
and would probably be what you are looking for. They have it in many colors.

Is there any linen there you'd especially recommend? I've asked
them about swatches but they have not replied.
Thanks for any info,

Does anyone know where to get that medium-weight, drapey 100%
linen that was used for vintage tablecloths, in cream or white and
in a plain weave (not damask)? I want to dye some yardage.
Vintage tablecloths don't look like an option. I don't have time
for garage sales. The ones on eBay are mostly damask, striped,
embroidered. or printed. The plain ones there actually are not all
that cheap per yard. Furthermore, my experience with dyeing
vintage table linens is they can have old grease stains that do
not show up on examination before dyeing, but which inhibit the
dye in places when dyed.
Thanks,
