From Tricia Rose's description of her ordeal in finding the perfect white linen sheet I suspect these are the sheets I have been looking for - for what? Twenty years? Longer?
The only ones I have even found that I like are Italian hotel sheets. Congratulations to Tricia and Rough Linen for figuring out one of the most gaping holes in contemporary retail bedding. I just ordered a set and am sending this link to all my friends. Wow!
Congratulations and best wishes. And THANK YOU! And thank you Remodelista for the tip. You made my day.

I too have looked for years for linen sheets. Seeing your post, I immediately ordered everything--duvet, sheets, shams. They arrived last week and are beyond gorgeous. I could not be more pleased. In addition, Tricia went out of her way to make a item that she doesn't normally make, just because. Amazing.

A belated thank you. The linens arrived and are more beautiful than I ever imagined. Thank you.

Dear Tricia,
I have been using my new Orkney duvet cover and shams for the last two nights and I just want to share with you how much I absolutely love them. They feel so great against my skin and the look so fabulous. And I know they will only get better with age. The problem is, now I never want to get out of bed!
I’m saving up for a bed skirt and sheet.
Thank you so much for loving linen the way I do and for making this great product.
Sincerely,
Fay
so I thought I would snap a quick photo for you.
I love my bed.
I just love it.
Thanks so much for what you do.

Hi Tricia,
Thank you for your prompt delivery of the duvet cover which arrived yesterday. I honestly don't want to wax lyrical (!) but I absolutely love it; it's beautiful!!
Expect many more orders in the future and in the meantime I wish you continued success with your business. It's so difficult to find beautiful quality, workmanship and passion; so many of the big brands imitate but your product has a soul.
Good luck and thank you!!
Best wishes,
Richard

Tricia,
I dearly love my bed makeover! It's been a joke in our family how often I have changed linens and quilts etc. over the years. They won't laugh any more! It was this I was looking for to look beautiful and cover me in luxury. Linen has always been my favorite material as long as I can remember. I can now wear it during the day and sleep on it every evening.
My first night of contentment I slept in until 8:30 am! I am always up by 6:00. The minute I crawled under the duvet the evening before I felt as if I were exactly where I wanted and needed to be. I know I sound a bit off-center, but these linens are what I have searched for at least ten years!

A million thanks —

Wow Tricia, that was fast. The duvet was here when I got home late on Saturday.
Clean white sheets and the new duvet cover made for a great sleep Sunday night.Simple luxury is exactly right. My favorite definition of luxury is “having very little and having it all work for you.
Thank you for your work.

Dear Tricia
You really should rename your linen to "sought"(pronounced soft- isn't the English language wonderful!) linen. It's wonderful and the hand is so soft and inviting in spite of its rough natural appearance. So happy I found you and your products. Just watched the video on making linen. A way of life that we need to nurture.
Merry Christmas!

Hi Tricia,
The duvets and pillows we received are beautiful! Is there any chance I could get a full size duvet and shams made in the solid white linen? Best,
Maren
JeanHi, Tricia
They came yesterday. And as soon as I have finished my coffee and the NY Times, they will be on my bed.
I love them and will be ordering more. We are going out of town this afternoon so it will be a few days before I can decide exactly what.
Thanks a million. I like your personal touch.
Tricia,
Just wanted to get back to you on the duvet covers. We went up to our client's home yesterday and placed the raw linen duvet covers~they will work. Whew (for all of us)! Hope you have a great week and thanks for your fantastic work!
Teresa
Hi TriciaI love your site, it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I have desided to save all of my pennies and buy one of your duvet covers, then save again and get the sheeting, in fact can I just do an automatic payment for the rest of my life and get the curtians...

Just wanted to let you know that I LOVE my tablecloth
Barbara
I allow myself a few luxuries in my humble life, and your smooth white linen pillow slips are my latest passion!
I can't wait to lay my head down on them tonight, what a luxurious feel to them.
I'm delighted in the generous size, my wonderful down pillows fit perfectly.
Love the design...you know I sew, but I could not equal these slips for the fabric and quality!
Thank you so much for the speedy shipping, I only just ordered them a few days ago!
Andrea
Tricia....I have spent (wasted) a lot of money on tablecloths until I purchased this incredible Orkney Linen Tablecloth from you. It has the most amazing feel and drape. I cannot wait to have Thanksgiving dinner and show off my tablecloth. Heck with the food.
I will be adding the tablecloth that layers underneath next.
Thanks for making such beautiful pieces.

Tricia,
I received my duvet cover and pillow slips this afternoon. I washed them and dried them by air (it was a warm evening) and have been lounging in them tonight. They are absolutely wonderful. I fell in love with linen sheets on a voyage through in Sicily last year.They were used in many of my small hotels and I was so surprised how much more I enjoyed sleeping in linen over plain cotton. I managed to find a queen fitted sheet and two pillow cases in Italy, but no duvet cover or shams. So thank you for bringing me a little bit of Sicily here in SF! Now my bed is completely in linen and I am plum pleased. Thanks so much!
Warmest regards,
Maia
Hi Tricia,
Thank you for the curtains - we love them!
NatalieTricia,
The duvet cover is magnificent - I love it and can't thank you enough. it was immediately christinend by our 5# poodle/terrier who stole a corn cob which was twice the size of him, hah. What's great, is how forgiving Rough Linen is; the color along with the texture was no less for wear. Plus, I have a husband whom I have to strategically place anything of beauty as he's like a bull in a china shop - not with this duvet cover, thank you for making such a beautiful piece of art that I get to use and enjoy with him.
Your crafstmanship and artistic abilities put FUN into Functional - this is one keepsake that I'll get to enjoy in my daily life and handdown after I'm gone (not like damn Waterford that just sits, or gets used once a year; maybe I should start using it daily, hummm...
I'd love to slipcover my world with your Rough Linen!
Thanks again, ~ Deb
Tricia,
I wanted to thank you for the most AMAZING sheets ever! I have wanted a set of sheets for years, and my most wonderful family and friends went in together and got me a set for my birthday last month. They are beyond incredible! I just ordered two pillow slips to go along with them.
I have never slept better in my life!

Oh, . I am fairly speechless. my package arrived today and each piece is beautiful. but even before I saw my goodies I was met with your lovely lavender scent. I hope I can keep it going for a long time....
As I mentioned before, I have never really had nice linens. I wasn't even sure they existed. Well, now I know they do and in the perfect color and feel. And they will only improve with age. My sincere thanks.Donna
Hi Trica,
I received my order this week. It's very beautiful. So much more so than the photos on the website. I attached a photo for you. It's transformed how my flat looks.
Also, my rescue baby Jack has taken a serious liking to it as well. He's been spending an unusual amount of time sleeping on it since it arrived.
Thanks and have a wonderful weekend, ~ Keri
Dear Tricia,
Your linen package arrived yesterday. I am delighted by both the fabric and your workmanship, and I feel transported back to the old linens that my grandmother owned - embroidered and bleached by many a laundry day in the sun. I shall upload some photographs next week via your website. And I will certainly order more items in the future.
Thanks for keeping alive a visual and tactile experience that makes life richer.
Kai
