Linen Towels are not THICK, Soft and Fluffy Like Cotton Towels

Don't be surprised that 100% Linen Flax towels may appear to be thinner than you expected and perhaps stiffer than you expected.

Cotton towels are thick and fluffy - Linen towels are NOT !



It is unfortunate that the name Linen has become a common name for a towel, sheet or table cloth much like Coke has for a carbonated soft drink.

But as you know, not all carbonated softdrinks are made or taste alike and Linen does NOT look, feel or dry the same as a cotton towel. 

We believe that linen is much more healthy for you, your family and the environment.



In fact Pure Real Linen performs much better once you get used to the feeling of thinness of Linen.



How to make Linen towels softer and fluffier:

1. Wash them in cool water with either no soap or a very small amount of a very mild soap like you would wash a lovely sweater.

Please:  Use a large amount of water compared to the volume of fabric in the wash. Linen likes water and does like to be crushed by overloading the machine

2. After removing the towel from the washer, stretch the towel in all directions by pulling on the fabric from opposite sides.

3. Allowing the towel to dry naturally is preferred as it uses less energy but if you wish to machine dry, use a very low heat setting.

4. After drying or while still slightly damp, iron the towel on both sides using a very hot steam iron to bring out the sheen


Try the towel and see if it is softer as you expected.

After two washings using the 4 step process listed above your Linen Flax fabric towels should be quite soft and will last for many years.


The reason for all this is that Linen Flax fabric is not the same as Cotton made towels.

Linen is NOT cotton and will last much longer than cotton.


Cotton towels are thick and fluffy - Linen towels are NOT !

Some cotton towels attempt to dry your skin and clean your dishes and glasses while leaving a wet feeling behind.

Linen towels do NOT !

The fact is, that a towel made from Linen Flax fabric absorbs liquid including water quite rapidly and completely on the first contact and without excessive rubbing or pressure.

Pure true Linen is NOT cotton !

It is unfortunate that the name Linen has become a common name for a towel, sheet or table cloth much like Coke has for a carbonated soft drink.

But as you know, not all carbonated softdrinks are made or taste alike and Linen does NOT look, feel or dry the same as a cotton towel. 

We believe that linen is much more healthy for you, your family and the environment.

In fact Pure Real Linen performs much better once you get used to the feeling and thinness of Linen.
