White Linen Napkins, Set of 4

A set of four white linen napkins in 170 GSM European linen — the same panel used in our bedding. Durable, absorbent, soft after the first wash.

The set

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 white 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). Oxygen bleach is safe for white linen; do not use chlorine 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.

Does white linen yellow over time?
Not with normal care. White linen yellows when stored damp or when bleached with chlorine. Wash, dry fully, store dry. Oxygen bleach is safe for occasional brightening.

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.
