 Have you checked French Paper?  www.mrfrench.com
Most of their papers come in coverstock and they used to have a beautiful
pink parchment.  Doubtful about the linen finish.
Good Luck.

  Hi,

  I am desperately searching for a pink-colored cover stock to
  complete a handmade, small-run zine project I'm working on, and I'm
  ending up having the worst time! I'm not sure how to best describe
  the exact color I'm looking for: just pink, normal pink. I'm not
  looking for something as dark as mauve, and I don't want anything
  'neon' or 'hot' or 'electric.'

  So far, I've only come up with:

  1. Domtar made a very light pink cover stock called "Bermuda Pink,"
  which has been discontinued.

  2. Neenah made a just slightly darker paper called "Rubystone." I
  think this would have been perfect for me, however it's also been
  discontinued.

  3. Wausau still makes a "Royal Fiber Rose," which would be about
  right, however it comes with these little 'stylish' dark fiber
  specks embedded in it, which isn't a texture I'd like to use here.
  I'm going to be silk-screening onto the paper, so would just like a
  solid, clean surface to work with, that will not distract from or
  compete with the art.

  Does anyone have any other recommendations? Ideally, I'd like
  something about 80lbs, with a linen finish, but at this point any
  nice, plain pink cover stock will do. I only need about 250
  sheets. As a last ditch I've ordered several samples from
  www.discountcardstock.com, but I'm not sure these papers are
  exactly art/archival quality!

  Thank you for any suggestions! Any help would be very appreciated.

  Robbie
