Alternative Views:	This reverential, almost priestly solid burgundy is named for the infamous French cardinal who helped to consolidate Louis XIII's royal power during the 1600s. A very clever man with great ambitions, Richelieu was a politician, negotiator, and orator who transformed France and was famous for his patronage of the arts. His policies were the prelude to Louis XIV becoming the most powerful monarch - and France the most powerful nation - in all of Europe during the late 17th century... However, Richelieu was deeply unpopular, largely because of his controversial treatment of commoners and, as a result, he was often portrayed in literature as a nefarious trickster. Most famously, in Alexandre Dumas' "The Three Musketeers," L'Eminence Rouge (The Red Eminence) appeared as a cunning and insidious - yet highly charismatic - character... Features microlines that measure 0.5mm - very tiny, and perfect for adding a nuanced texture unlike anything you ever imagined! our price:$32.00 Size: Yard Small Sample $1.50 (2.5" x 2.75") Large Sample - $4.00 (4.5" x 4.5") Qty:

Good swatching service. August 30, 2023 Reviewer: Ann Wass from Riverdale, MD United States   I am not going to review each swatch separately. Rather, I appreciate getting decent sized swatches at a decent price in a timely manner. I will be ordering yardage of one of them. Was this review helpful to you?

last order July 6, 2021 Reviewer: Jackie Jacobs from Allen Park, MI United States   This taffeta is so wonderful. The hand of it will lend it to being machine embroidered on very nicely. I look forward to creating something wonderful with it. Was this review helpful to you?
