I absolutely LOVE linen sheets! I love the way they feel, the way they drape and look, and I love caring for them. Nothing feels like linen! On a warm night they are cool and absorbent, keeping one comfortable in a way no other fabric does. I like cotton when the weather is cold, but in the summer linen is King! If you would like to see full sized pictures, I would be glad to email them to you. Unless otherwise noted ALL linens are clean and pressed, ready for your use!
