Machine wash at 30-40°C / 86-104°F on a gentle, short cycle. Avoid using bleach or detergents containing bleach. Tumble dry on low and use hot ironing if needed. Please note: Natural linen fabric typically shrinks by about 5% after the first wash. Our table linens are made from non-pre-washed linen to help reduce environmental impact and conserve resources. Important: Our linen towels are pre-washed twice; however, some natural linen fibers may still remain. When first used, the towel may leave fibers on your skin. After a few washes or tumble drying, these fibers will naturally shed. This is a normal characteristic of high-quality natural linen.

Most of Thing Stories' linen items can be customized to your preferred size. If you’d like a custom size, please contact us before placing your order. We’ll be happy to provide details and pricing!

Linen color and texture

Linen fabric is made from natural linen plant. We could say that linen is a bit similar to wine which taste and quality depend on terroir. So linen flax depends on the same things: soil, climate, weather, manufacturing conditions. The color of natural linen depends heavily on its growing conditions, meaning fabrics made from this year's crop might differ in color from the year before, even after dyeing. For a perfectly matching set, please order all pieces in one purchase. Linen is a plant and the fabric is 100% natural. So the fabric has flax plant fibers, protruding or thickened threads. This is a part of imperfect linen fabrics. Please note! Colors in the listing photo can slightly vary on different monitors.

At Thing Stories, we create high-quality linen items for home and travel, designed to bring comfort and elegance to everyday life. Each piece is crafted by skilled artisans using natural linen, a sustainable and durable fabric. Since our products are handmade, small variations may occur — such as slight size differences (up to 1-2%) or minor imperfections in stitching and symmetry. These are not flaws but rather the mark of true craftsmanship, making each item unique. By choosing Thing Stories, you support mindful, sustainable living and celebrate the charm of handmade linen — thoughtfully crafted, made to last, and perfect in its natural authenticity.

Imperfections of natural linen

Linen fabric is naturally imperfect and beautifully unique. Made from the flax plant, its look depends on soil, climate, and production. Just like wine varies by terroir. This means natural linen can differ slightly in color from year to year, even after dyeing. - For perfectly matching sets, order all pieces together. - As a 100% natural fiber, linen may show tiny fibers, thicker threads, or slubs. These are natural characteristics, not defects. - Expect ~5% shrinkage after the first wash. - Each item is handmade, so small variations in size or stitching may occur. - Linen dries quickly, softens with time, and lasts for years.

Absolutely! Our linen is a favorite for weddings, housewarmings, Christmas, and anniversaries. The packaging is ready to be gifted. Message us if you'd like items shipped directly to the recipient.

Great communication with seller. Great quality and I love the texture. Would be happy to buy from this shop again. For my use, a slightly larger size could be nice in a future order.

Response from Simona Vaiciene

When we are making linen items we have fabric leftovers. And from these leftovers we make cloths and other smaller things. That's how we manage working to zero waste and being as sustainable as we can. So that is why the size is just like this. Only in larger quantities we could make custom size cloths. Then it can be done from a normal roll of linen fabric.
