Linen Napkins – Sage – Set of 2

Sage Green Linen Napkins Sage by Linen Tales

The Sage linen napkins by Linen Tales are a pair of sage green cloth napkins made from pure European linen, woven and hemmed in Lithuania. A powdery sheen lies over the green, reminiscent of the bloom on a freshly picked grape.

Sage Linen Napkins are a pair of cloth napkins by Linen Tales from Vilnius, each measuring 40 by 40 centimeters, tied together as a set of 2 with kitchen twine. For breakfast, they belong on the tray, beneath the egg cup and over the bread basket.

Sage green with a powdery sheen

Sage is a lightened green that seems to have a fine frost over it, making it softer than any bright leaf green. Combined with light maple, white porcelain, and a glass of orange juice, the tone creates a scene that looks like early morning light. For branches from the garden, whether olive or eucalyptus, it is the natural companion. Even next to chipped heirloom dishes, this green maintains a sense of calm. Shades of green with a hint of gray harmonize with almost any place setting.

Breakfast brought to bed

Anyone carrying a loaded tray into the bedroom has coffee, soft-boiled eggs, and jam close together in a confined space. A linen napkin placed under the tableware keeps the cups in their place and catches anything that spills over the edge. Nothing is left behind on the duvet because the fabric holds the moisture instead of letting it pass through. A Sunday morning is given the care that distinguishes it from a hastily taken weekday breakfast.

Loosely through the ring, that’s all it takes

Linen retains the fold you give it, so a simple rectangular fold is enough. Pulled through a light wood ring, the fabric falls naturally into folds that last all morning. Elaborate restaurant-style folds are wasted effort with this fabric because its own weight holds the shape anyway. If you lay the napkin loosely over the edge of the plate after eating, it settles with that same calm drape.

A fabric that gets softer with every wash

Flax fibers grow long and smooth, leave no lint on lips or glass rims, and feel supple from the very first use. With every wash, the fabric relaxes further, so after two years, such a piece will drape like a well-worn shirt. The fabric loses none of its strength because the long fibers remain bonded together. This is the very foundation of the long durability of all table linens from Linen Tales.

Wash at 40 degrees, without bleach

Wash the linen napkins at 40 degrees on a gentle cycle and choose a mild detergent without bleach so the light green retains its freshness. Keep the spin speed below 600 rpm, as too much spinning pulls the fibers out of position. You may use a tumble dryer on a low setting if you take the linen out while it is still slightly damp. Smooth it out by hand and fold it, so the iron can stay in the cupboard.
