Linen Napkins – Butter – Set of 2

Linen Tales Linen Napkins Butter. A light yellow that makes a festive table warmer.

Linen Tales Linen Napkins Butter are two fabric napkins made from 100% linen in a delicate, very light yellow, made in Lithuania. No lemon yellow, no mustard tone, no oilcloth.

Linen Tales Linen Napkins Butter is the name of a pair of table napkins from Vilnius, square at 40 × 40 cm and finished with a mitered corner on all four corners. In the morning of a festive day, brunch is often the focus, with braided bread, scrambled eggs, fruit salad, and freshly squeezed juice. A buttery yellow next to each plate acts like the first daylight on the table. It elevates white tableware without making the table appear colorful.

A yellow without a green tint, woven at 215 grams

The shade Butter is reminiscent of freshly churned butter in a bowl. It lacks any greenish or lemony tint, which makes it look warm and soft instead of bright. The linen fabric weighs in at 215 g/m², a value that the textile industry refers to as grammage. With this weight, the napkin falls heavily and evenly over the lap. The flax is EUROPEAN FLAX certified, so it comes from fields in Western Europe. However, light tones show stains from red wine, coffee, or curry more clearly than dark ones. This yellow is therefore not suitable for carefree clearing away without soaking. At a table with small children, patterned linen forgives more. After drying, the fabric shows the slight crinkled structure that belongs to linen. Those who prefer it smoother should iron the pieces while they are still slightly damp.

From Easter Sunday to the coffee table by candlelight

A festive brunch at Easter is the obvious use for this yellow. Place the napkin in a narrow strip across the breakfast plate and place an egg in a cup on top. For the afternoon coffee table, roll the square loosely and thread it through a wooden ring. At a birthday dinner by candlelight, the tone looks even warmer than during the day. On a dark walnut table without a tablecloth, it creates a light contrast. For a multi-course festive menu, place the folded napkin to the left of the forks, so that the plate remains free for the appetizer. You can find additional colors for your table linen under the Linen Napkins.

Good to know: The Dishcloth in Butter has the same shade. Placed over the bread basket, it repeats the yellow of the napkins in the middle of the table.

Lithuanian linen with flat-lying corners

The label Linen Tales comes from Vilnius, the weaving and sewing rooms are also located in Lithuania. The corners are finished as mitered corners, a technique from classic table linen. The seam is folded diagonally and sewn, so that layers do not stack up at the corner. This keeps the edge evenly thin and the napkin flat. The fabric bears the Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX test seal, so the fibers and dyes have been tested for harmful substances. Wash the pair at a maximum of 40 °C and spin at less than 600 rpm. Bleach is not suitable for dyed linen; it robs the yellow of its freshness. Fabric softener also stays in the closet. Over the years, the fiber gains suppleness without becoming thin.

Two pieces that start a festive day

Alongside white, gray, and natural, the usual tones of table linen, a light yellow sets a friendly accent. That is exactly where the appeal of this pair lies. Tied with kitchen twine, it is suitable as a guest gift for the Easter brunch or as a small gift for people who like to entertain guests. It can be freely combined with other tones from the Linen Tales Collection. The yellow looks particularly harmonious next to light sage green when you set the table for six or eight guests and alternate two colors. Because every dyeing process turns out slightly differently with natural fibers, a repurchased set may look minimally lighter or more intense.

A pair in soft yellow that opens your festive table in the morning and continues to glow by candlelight in the evening.
