Linen Is One Of The Strongest, Most Durable Fabrics Known To Man

Linen is a fabric with a rich history and is a symbol of luxury.  Since 4000 BC, linen has represented beauty and elegance.  Linen has 2-3 times the strength of cotton and is one of the most durable fabrics ever created.  It is smooth, lint free and gets softer and finer with each wash.  Linen can easily be dyed and the color doesn't fade with washing.  It also presses easily, is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat.

Some of the less desirable qualities of linen are that it wrinkles easily and is expensive.  Also, care must be taken not to fold the linen in the same creases too often or the thread may break due to its poor elasticity.

Overall, however, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages and there is no better way to accent fine china than with quality linen napkins, tablecloths and placemats.  Our featured merchants have a large selection of linen products at reasonable prices to satisfy all your linen needs.
