Dear Lauren, we love our linen purchase and the colour is perfect, very calming and the combination of plain and stripes is lovely. I haven’t washed the sheet set yet, am waiting for a blowy day to dry them with some sunshine, not too strong I know! Melbourne hasn’t had many sunny days yet, but am sure they are coming. It is a lovely light weight linen. Thank you for packaging it so beautifully, I was very excited when the I Love Linen box was delivered to our door. Thank you for all your extra attention to detail and wishing you every success with your business. Jane
