Four identical napkins: one size, one color per set, priced below four napkins bought singly. Choose the size in the selector above — eight options from 10×10 in / 25×25 cm to 24×24 in / 60×60 cm. Need just one? See the single oatmeal linen napkin.

The fabric

170 GSM European linen, medium weight. Naturally absorbent, releases stains readily in the wash.

Care

Wash before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The napkins are cut 3–5% oversized to absorb the natural shrinkage of linen; they settle to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes. For ongoing care, machine wash at 40 °C (104 °F). Do not bleach. Iron damp for a crisp finish if desired. Full details: linen care guide.

Certification and origin

OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified — the fabric and thread are tested for substances that affect skin and lungs. The flax is European; every piece is cut and sewn in our own workshop near Riga, Latvia — not subcontracted, not relabelled from elsewhere.

Common questions

Should I wash the napkins before first use?
Yes. New linen should always be washed before first use — cold water, delicate cycle. The napkins ship oversized and settle to nominal size after 1–2 cold washes.

Does linen shrink?
Yes — natural fibers shrink. Expect 3–5%. These napkins are cut oversized to absorb that, so the final size matches the one you ordered.

What shade is oatmeal — will it fade or vary?
Oatmeal is a mélange: bleached white warp threads woven with a gray weft, giving a soft heathered tone. Slight color variation between batches is normal for mélange linen. The color does not fade with normal care.

Can I mix sizes or colors in one set?
Each set contains four identical napkins — same size, same color. For a mixed set, contact us: every order is sewn to order, so custom combinations are usually no problem.

Which size do I need?
Standard dinner and lunch sizes are listed in the size selector above.
