Well, yes. Linen DOES wrinkle. And your point is?


This is a freshly-laundered linen napkin. And no, don't bother ironing it - unless you are hosting a business dinner or something. It's a hassle, (don't you have other things you'd rather be doing??) it contributes to unnecessary electricity usage, and they are just going to get wrinkled all over again.

They are actually softer left natural. And, I think they are actually prettier this way. I'm weird that way, though.

Linen napkins

I haven't located a source of organic linen that I'm happy with (yet). So, these are regular linen, which is still more eco-friendly than cotton. Flax (the plant that is turned into linen) requires less water and pesticides.



I have to say that it was HARD getting the edge to roll neatly. Or is that because I'm not terribly used to sewing with a serger yet?

Anyway, check out the different sizes available in my Etsy store.
