Stonewashing is a process that softens the fabric by physically abrading it with stones. This gives the linen a relaxed, lived-in texture and a softer hand-feel immediately, rather than requiring several washes to break it in.

No. Because it is made from 100% high-quality linen, it is naturally lint-free. It is an excellent choice for polishing glassware and drying delicate items without leaving behind fuzz or streaks.

Machine wash on a gentle cycle with like colors. We recommend air drying to preserve the fibers, though you can tumble dry on low heat if needed. Avoid using bleach, as it can weaken the natural linen fibers.
