A note about linen
Zweigart linen fabric is woven from 100% linen flax. Flax is a natural fibre, which gives linen cloth a characteristic known as a "slub" - the individual threads are not of uniform thickness, which gives a pleasing background effect to most types of stitching, but especially samplers and vintage-style pieces. However, the uneven weave, and the fine count of linen (linens are usually stitched "over 2", meaning each stitch covers 2 holes in each direction) often scare off novice stitchers. But if you've stitched a few pieces on Aida and evenweave, then linen really isn't anything to be frightened of, and we're sure that once you've mastered it you'll not want to return to Aida.
Note, the picture is a scan of the actual fabric, but different monitor settings mean the colour as you see it might not be an exact match.
