Why only one

We do not sell cotton, and we do not sell blends

A shop that sells everything cannot tell you much about any of it. We weave one fibre in four weights, so we can tell you what 130 gsm does at a window that 240 gsm does not, and why a shirt is washed twice before you get it while a curtain is washed once.

How the flax gets here

Bed, table, wardrobe, window, kitchen

The same cloth, cut for five rooms. Weights chosen per use, not per fashion.

All 25 pieces
02 / Field to loom

Four steps between a blue flower and your bed

Flax is the only fibre in the range, so the supply chain is short enough to write down in full.

  1. Grown. Flax is sown in March in Normandy and Flanders and pulled, not cut, in July. It is left in the field to ret — to rot the stalk away from the fibre — which is why a wet August gives softer linen than a dry one.
  2. Spun. The scutched fibre goes to Vilnius, where it is wet-spun into yarn. Wet spinning is slower and gives the smooth, fine yarn the 130 gsm sheer needs; the 240 gsm curtain cloth uses a thicker dry-spun yarn.
  3. Woven and washed. The same mill weaves all four weights. Then every piece is laundered — once for curtains, twice for table and clothing, three times for bedding — so most of the shrinkage happens before you own it.
  4. Sewn. Garments and aprons are cut and sewn in a workshop in Kaunas, an hour down the road. Bedding and table linen are hemmed at the mill.

The pieces people come back for

Pillowcases first, then a shirt, then the whole bed. That is the usual order.

04 / Weight

Grams per square metre is the only number that matters

Thread count means nothing for linen. Weight tells you almost everything.

130 gsm is sheer and cool: shirts for hot weather, curtains that filter light. 165 gsm is the bedding weight, heavy enough to drape and light enough for summer. 190 gsm sits flat on a table and takes a hot pan handle in the kitchen. 240 gsm dims a room and stops a draught.

Every product page states the weight, and the weights guide explains what each one is for and what it is not. If you want a blackout curtain, we will tell you that 240 gsm on its own is not one.

The things linen does that you should know about

It creases the moment you sit down. It shrinks 3 to 5% in its first wash, which is why we wash it for you. Dark shades show lint. The 130 gsm cloth is semi-sheer in white. None of this is a fault; all of it is on the product page.

Weights & sizes

Added this season

A handful of pieces a year. The range grows when a weight suits a new use, not when a season changes.

Everything new

One fibre

100% European flax, on every label, with no blend and no exception.

The 60-wash promise

A seam or hem that fails inside the first 60 washes is repaired or replaced, postage paid both ways.

Pre-washed

Once, twice or three times depending on the piece. The count is on the page, and so is the shrinkage that remains.

Three towns

Spun and woven in Vilnius, sewn in Kaunas, grown in Normandy and Flanders. Nothing further away than that.

Shades and weights we are not repeating

Reduced against the price they were listed at for the previous year. The cloth is the same; only the future of the colour has changed.

See them all

“I bought the pillowcases to see whether the wash count was a gimmick. It was not — they were soft the first night, and the cover I ordered later in the same shade matched. The apron was my husband's idea.”

When a new dye lot lands

A note when a shade is back, when a weight is added, and once a year on what the harvest did to the fibre. Nothing that expires at midnight.
