Napkin 100% Linen Maria (Set of 4)

Very nice napkins! These are from Portugal so the material (100 linen) is thicker and coarser than Irish linen but absolutely lovely for a rustic look. They arrived prewashed however I washed them on warm, hung them to dry, and ironed them without incident. All the stitches are even and finished. The color is great for combining with wooden serve ware. I believe that I’ll get many years of use from them, and I highly recommend them.

These linen napkins came awfully wrinkled. I understand that linen usually is a bit , but these were extreme. I will wash and lay out flat. Hopefully that will help. The color is a rich mustard. They are a bit small for a dinner napkin in my opinion but will work well as a cocktail napkin.

When these arrived, I was super excited because the color is beautiful. But then I opened the package and my feeling was much less excitement. I understand that linen is natural and can be a regular, but these actually look like they’ve been used and laundered repeatedly the way that they’re worn and impressed is different from anything that I’ve ever gotten new before. I’ll probably use them, but I’m definitely going to have to launder them and press them very carefully before I share them with my friends.

The amber color is gorgeous, deep and natural in the way that makes them look hand-dyed. The linen feels good too. My only hitch is price: for a set of four, it felt steep for my budget for this project.

These are nice napkins. I like the casual look of them and they go well with my dishes. The color is not my favorite but they are good every day napkins and could also be used for special occasions. Good purchase
