Suitable for fashion and home accessories and moisture wicking products like our popular "Greensavers".

Medium weight, may be considered "all purpose" linen. It is neither sheer nor heavy. It is suitable for table linens, powder room towels, shower curtains, pillow covers.
7.1 OUNCE
Heavy weight, also known as "rustic" linen. Soft but sturdy. Retains absorbent quality with repeated use. (Some would insist that absorbency improves with use!). A great choice for tea towels and chef aprons.

STRIPE DESIGNS

Linen can have a mind of its own. If you prefer linen without rumples and creases, launder in warm or cold water with mild detergent then dry on low heat and lay flat before completely dry. To fluff, return to dryer briefly. To retain maximum absorbency, do not use fabric softener. Pressing linen with an iron will return it to a crisp finish.
