Description
The tablecloth that sets the tone before the food arrives. Our washed linen cotton blend tablecloth brings the relaxed drape of European table linens to everyday dinners and holiday tables — nine sizes from a 28" accent square to a 63" × 91" banquet rectangle, each with a double-folded fine hem. Choose the Plain hem for a quiet, architectural line, or the Ruffled edge for a softer, cottage frill. Handmade in Denizli, Turkey.
Why a Linen Cotton Blend?
Pure linen looks beautiful but feels stiff and creases hard. Cotton alone drapes softly but reads flat. Woven together and pre-washed, the linen gives texture and that dry, slubby hand while the cotton keeps it supple and easy to launder — so it falls over the table edge in a soft, even line. No plastic backing, no coating, no stain-resist finish.
"The washing is where the fabric changes character. Off the loom it is crisp and formal — after the wash it drapes, it breathes, and it stops looking like something you are afraid to use."

What Size Tablecloth Do I Need?
The rule is simple: add 16" to both the length and the width of your table. That gives roughly 8" of drop on every side — long enough to look intentional, short enough to stay off your guests' laps. For a formal floor-length look, add twice your table height instead (most dining tables are 29" to 30" tall, so about 58" to 60").
Matched to that 8" drop: 28" × 28" (70 × 70 cm) is a topper for an accent table. 39" × 39" (100 × 100 cm) fits a 24" × 24" table, seats 2. 47" × 63" (120 × 160 cm) fits 32" × 47", seats 4. 55" × 55" (140 × 140 cm) fits a 39" × 39" table, seats 4. 55" × 79" (140 × 200 cm) fits 39" × 63", seats 6. 59" × 87" (150 × 220 cm) fits 43" × 71", seats 6. 63" × 63" (160 × 160 cm) fits a 47" × 47" table, seats 4 to 8. 63" × 87" (160 × 220 cm) fits 47" × 71", seats 6 to 8. 63" × 91" (160 × 230 cm) fits 47" × 75", seats 6 to 8.
On the Ruffled style the measurement above is the flat cloth — the ruffle sits outside it and adds a further 3" to 4" of soft fall, so it hangs slightly lower than the Plain cloth.
Coming From US Standard Sizes?
Our cloths are cut on metric widths, so they land close to but not exactly on familiar US numbers: for 60" × 84" choose 59" × 87"; for 60" × 90" choose 63" × 91"; for 60" × 60" choose 63" × 63"; for 52" × 70" choose 55" × 79". Each runs an inch or two over or under, shifting the drop, not the fit.
One Cloth, Many Tables
The larger rectangles are built for the dining table — Thanksgiving, Christmas, a long Sunday lunch. The mid sizes suit a kitchen table used daily, the squares a breakfast table. Outdoors it dresses a patio or garden table for a meal; it is woven cloth, not coated vinyl, so bring it in afterwards. Every color comes in both styles and all nine sizes: White and Natural for bright rooms, Gray, Brown and Cinnamon for warm earthy tables, Burgundy and Olive Green for autumn and holiday tables, Navy and Black for contrast.
The Denizli Heritage
Denizli has been a textile center since Roman times, and the Aegean weaving tradition behind it goes back 2,500 years. Our table linens carry three generations of that know-how — fabric woven for us in Denizli, then cut, hemmed and finished by women artisans in our own workshop.
Care
- Machine wash cold, 30 °C / 86 °F, short cycle — no bleach
- Do not tumble dry — line dry in the shade; do not dry clean
- Iron on medium for a smoother finish; light wrinkling is natural
- Wash oil stains promptly; expect slight shrinkage on the first wash
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size tablecloth do I need for a 60 inch table?
A: For a 60" square or round table, add 16" and look for about 76" — our 63" × 63" is the closest square we make, giving a short 1.5" drop.
Q: How much overhang should a tablecloth have?
A: About 8" on each side for everyday and semi-formal dining — a 6" to 10" drop all reads as correct. Floor-length: add twice the table height, roughly 58" to 60".
Q: Does a linen tablecloth shrink?
A: The fabric is washed before it ships, so most of the shrinkage has already happened. Expect a slight amount more on the first home wash — tumble drying is what causes real shrinkage.
Q: Can I machine wash this tablecloth?
A: Yes. Machine wash cold at 30 °C / 86 °F on a short cycle, skip the bleach, line dry in the shade. Do not tumble dry or dry clean.
Q: What is the difference between the Plain and the Ruffled style?
A: Same fabric, same nine sizes, same colors. Plain has a clean double-folded hem for a minimal, modern table. Ruffled adds a gathered frill for a softer cottage or farmhouse feel, and because the ruffle sits outside the listed measurement it hangs 3" to 4" lower.
Q: Is this tablecloth OEKO-TEX certified?
A: Yes — the linen cotton fabric carries OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certification, laboratory tested free from harmful substances, so it is safe under food and around children.
