About Rough Linen

Our passion for timeless linen is the heart of what we do. Our linens are everyday luxuries, designed for effortless elegance, unwavering quality, and supreme comfort. We stand firm in our commitment to sustainable materials and enduring craftsmanship. The heavyweight "Orkney" linens, boasting an impressive GSM of 260, are the crown jewels of our collection. Initially, they might have a bit of a rough-and-tumble personality, but after a couple of washes, they transform into the epitome of softness and durability. With exquisite stitches and heavyweight linens that defy market standards, our linens radiate a timeless charm. We're delighted to share the strength, enduring appeal, and craftsmanship of linen with those who value these virtues. At Rough Linen, we create essential linens for every corner of your home, ready to be cherished day in and day out.

Years later, Tricia discovered "Orkney," the unique linen fabric with the same evocative qualities, homespun texture, and heritage weight as that heirloom pillowslip, and all her feeling for the comfort and traditions and values linen stands for for flooded back. There was no hesitation: Rough Linen was born. Read their story
