Every Linnet piece is grown, woven, sewn and stonewashed in six steps
About five months from a sown field near Fécamp to a folded duvet cover on the long table in Grey Lynn.
Grown
Sown in March on the Lefèvre farm near Fécamp, in the cool, damp Pays de Caux. In flower for a week in June.
Retted
Pulled by the root in July and laid in rows on the field for six weeks, until dew and sun loosen the fibre.
Woven
Spun and woven at the Ferraz mill near Guimarães, in northern Portugal, to 165 grams a square metre.
Sewn
Cut and sewn in Grey Lynn by our three machinists, with double-folded hems and corozo buttons.
Stonewashed
Washed twice at 40 degrees with pumice from Taupō, which softens the linen and shrinks it before you do.
Folded
Tumble-dried, checked under daylight on the long table, folded and tied with undyed cotton tape.
Our duvet cover, up close: the weave, the hem and the ties
Point to a detail to see how it is made. Every piece is checked under daylight on the long table before it is folded.
Mid-weight, with the natural slub of flax. Heavy enough to drape over the side of the bed, open enough to breathe on a humid night.
Cut from the dried nut of the tagua palm. They go through a hot wash and the dryer without chipping or fading.
Folded twice and sewn with linen thread, so no raw edge ever goes through the wash.
Stitched into each inside corner. Tie them to the loops on your duvet and it stays square through the night.

We sleep cooler under this than under the cotton we had before. Estuary is softer and greyer in person, which is exactly what we wanted.

I run hot, and these are the first sheets that do not cling on a humid night. The deep fitted sheet goes over our topper with room to spare.

The bed blanket goes over our duvet from May to September and on its own in summer. It weighs less than it looks.

Questions about Linnet linen
Will linen feel rough?
Not ours. Every piece is stonewashed twice with pumice before it reaches you, so it is soft on the first night and softer every wash after that.
Is linen bedding hot in summer?
It is the coolest thing to sleep under on a humid Auckland night. Flax fibres are hollow, take up moisture and dry fast, so the sheet never clings.
Do I need to iron it?
No. The soft creases are part of stonewashed linen. Shake it out and put it straight on the bed, or line-dry it for a slightly crisper feel.
Will it shrink?
Stonewashing shrinks every piece before it leaves the studio, so expect no more than 2% after your first wash at 40 degrees.
Do you send to Australia?
Yes, from Grey Lynn to anywhere in Australia in 4 to 7 working days, free over $200. Prices show in NZD here and in AUD at checkout, with no duty to pay.
