Rain is the misty green colorway of the cloud print in Robert Kaufman’s Pine and Peak Flannel. Woodcut-style clouds roll across a soft gray-green background in lighter and darker tones, like a damp mountain morning just before the weather breaks. It’s moody without being dark.
Of the three cloud colorways, Rain sits in the middle: deeper than the cream-and-sage Cloud, and greener and quieter than the blue Lake. That midtone value is handy in a quilt, where it can bridge the light and dark Pine and Peak prints and keep the eye moving. On its own, it makes a cozy flannel quilt back, a lap blanket, or a pair of pajama pants that leans more toward the woods than the nursery.
The fabric is 100% cotton flannel, 42" wide, 5 oz per square yard, with a 12" repeat (part number SRKF-24282-279). Pair it with the Sage or Pine tree prints for an all-green cabin palette, or with Stone Creek for a soft mountain landscape. Many quilters prewash flannel before cutting, since it can shrink more than standard quilting cotton.
