A set of six white linen napkins in 100% linen at 170 GSM — the same panel used in our white and oatmeal bedding. Durable, absorbent, soft after the first wash.
The set
Six identical napkins: one size, one color per set, 10% below six 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.
Who buys six
Six is the number a laid table asks for: four seats with two spare, or six seats with the wash timed for the next day. It is also the set that survives a week of daily use in a household of four, which four napkins do not — they are in the machine by Thursday.
Six matching napkins in white is the plainest way to make a table look considered, and white is the one color of ours that takes oxygen bleach, so an evening that goes wrong is recoverable. For which of the eight sizes suits lunch and which suits dinner, see the napkin size guide.
The fabric
100% linen at 170 GSM, European, 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 six 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.
