I've been wanting to try linen pillowcases and these did not disappoint. The colour is soft and muted, the fabric is kind of amazing. It's a bit stiffer at first, but each time it's washed it gets softer. But it's still very sturdy, not tissue thin. when it comes out of the dryer, wrinkles are very small and minimal, but it gives a relaxed, casual look. Very pleased.
