Care

Wash at 40 degrees with like colours and a gentle liquid detergent, without bleach or softener. Line-dry for a crisper feel or tumble on low for a softer one. Never iron it: the creases are part of stonewashed linen. Washing and drying linen

Which fitted sheet depth fits your mattress

Measure from the base of the mattress to the top of any topper. Slide to your measurement and we choose the pocket.

How every Linnet sheet set is made

About five months from a flax field in Normandy to the long table in Grey Lynn.

  1. Grown

    Fibre flax from the Lefèvre farm near Fécamp, pulled by the root in July.

  2. Woven

    Woven in widths up to 3 metres, so even the super king flat sheet has no seam.

  3. Sewn

    The fitted sheet is boxed at each corner and elasticated all the way round.

  4. Stonewashed

    Washed twice with Taupō pumice, so the sheets are soft on the first night.

Linen sheets for a humid Auckland summer night

On the hottest nights, sleep under the flat sheet alone. Flax takes up moisture and dries fast, so linen never clings the way cotton can.

From the studio

Every fitted sheet gets a boxed corner and elastic all the way round, so it pulls tight and stays tight. For the deep pocket I cut another ten centimetres into each side.

  • 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.

  • Heavier than the linen we bought overseas and soft from the first night. We have since bought a second set for the spare room.

  • Warm enough in a Christchurch winter with a wool duvet on top, which surprised me. Basalt also hides the dog.

  • A lovely colour. The flat sheet is generous on our double, and I would have liked it a little shorter, but that is a small thing.

Questions about the sheet set

Which depth do I need?

Measure your mattress with any topper on it. Up to 35 cm, the standard pocket fits. From 35 to 45 cm, choose deep. The tool on this page works it out.

Is the flat sheet big enough to tuck in?

Yes. Each flat sheet is 30 cm wider and longer than the mattress and its depth, so it tucks in at the foot and the sides.

Will the fitted sheet stay on?

Elastic runs all the way round, not just at the corners, so it holds the mattress from every side and does not ride up.

How many pillowcases come in a single set?

Two standard pillowcases in every size, so a single has a spare for the wash.

How often should I wash linen sheets?

Once a week, at 40 degrees. Linen gets softer with every wash, so it is the one thing you cannot wash too often.
