Fete Rustic linens have a beautiful loose weave, full of slubs, and a discreet hemstitch accent along all four edges. They feel great to the touch and have a very nice textured appearance on the table. They're woven for us of 100% cotton and come in sizes to fit all but the very largest tables; all the tablecloths are 70" and the lengths go to 144". Fete Rustic linens may be machine-washed in cold water and tumbled dry on a low setting, with touch-up ironing as needed. Some shrinkage is likely, but certainly no more than 4-5%.
