TheRawLinen Napkins

These linen napkins have a distinct, substantial texture that feels more structured than cotton. Because they are prewashed, they arrive soft and pliable, but you will notice they are more breathable and have a slightly heavier, more premium drape.

Since the fabric is uncolored, there is no dye to fade. The natural gray tone may soften slightly over time, but the inherent color of the flax fiber remains consistent, often gaining a more lived-in, vintage character with repeated laundering.

Linen is prone to wrinkling, which is part of its rustic charm. If you prefer a crisp, formal look, you can iron them at temperatures up to 200°C while slightly damp; otherwise, simply air-drying them and folding them while warm will keep the wrinkles manageable.

Yes, flax fiber is naturally highly absorbent. These napkins are designed to be functional, not just decorative, making them excellent for wiping up spills or handling messy meals.

To maintain the integrity of the flax fibers, machine wash them at a maximum of 40°C. Avoid harsh bleaches, and if you use a dryer, remove them while still slightly damp to prevent over-drying, which can make the linen brittle.
