You might already know we are here to satisfy any taste for wool - a wide array of casual to smart wool blankets and throws is available in our new and growing wool shop. Choose one made of sheep wool, alpaca wool or maybe luxurious cashmere wool. Or maybe extremely soft and warm baby alpaca wool scarf.

For your convenience a discounted price is already written beside the product. Just add an item you want to the shopping cart. All the orders are delivered by a courier service so will reach you in time for Christmas (USA clients should order up to the 7th of December, UK and EU clients - up to the 14th of December).

Apart from being a provider of coziness and warmth, wool yarn throw is an important addition to your interior design. A colorful bright one will look great over the edge of a sofa or armchair of pastel shade - it will inject a bit of charm into a natural color scheme. A wool throw of earth colors will mingle with the surrounding environment adding almost imperceptible touch of softness and coziness.

And do not forget to keep your wool throws and wool blankets handy to cover up while drinking tea or reading a book on quiet winter evenings! And also send some warmth of your heart to someone you love and care with a quality beautiful throw from our WoolMe wool shop!

Merry Christmas everyone!

First, think you your theme and main color or colors. Crisp white luxury? Modern minimalism? Last glimpses of colorful autumn? Purple dream of a queen? Then make a list of things you would need: table linen, dishware, and table centerpiece, table accessories - candles, small decorations, name cards… Decide which of them have to be in which color. You might want to search for ideas and examples on internet.

Should you choose your tablecloth in rich bright color, you might want your plates in some neutral shade and glasses of a clear glass. The table centerpiece then can be chosen of matching rich colors as well as can be other table accessories: table runners, napkins, candles, lamps and flowers.

If you have a vision of a white Christmas décor, choose crisp white quality tablecloth with table runners and napkins of white or off white, silver, cream or other shade. Add crystal clear glasses, white plates with modest décor, lots of silver, metal, golden accessories, beautiful snowflakes etc.

Having a wide array of linen table linen items of our own we cannot imagine other Christmas table than that set with linen tablecloth, linen runners, linen napkins, and linen placemats. With lots of colors and designs available, one can set a different looking table for each Christmas. This year we suggest having a colorful, warm, joyous and memorable Christmas table! New linen table items from Emilia collection will do perfectly. Choose two leading colors or mix and match several of them. Or maybe create a different setting for each guest? All the options are possible, because colors of this collection match well and have common features - gorgeous luxurious herringbone weave and elaborate hemstitch borders. When the main theme and colors of your setting are decided upon, completing your table decoration is a piece of cake!

Linen table linen is all machine washable, durable, can be dried in a drying machine.

The main question is about the meal time, of course. What meals to prepare, what table décor to choose, how to create coziness? We all know - an important key to a good meal is dining table ambiance, so let’s talk about this.

Making your Thanksgiving table beautiful and memorable doesn’t have to be difficult.

First of all, think of the overall mood. Let your table reflect the warm colors of the season - create rich, autumnal decorations. Use quality table linen of vibrant colors, add some vintage dishes, warm colored glasses and dessert plates, place many beeswax candles and you get an ultra-stylish Thanksgiving table.
Here is how the Thanksgiving table is seen by Stephen Saint-Onge at familycircle.com. They used our linen tablecloth Provance, linen towels Provance and linen napkins Jazz.

Here are some key moments to have in mind.
• Make a centerpiece of a table: use fresh fall flowers arranged in a vase, add many autumn colored candles, some fall foliage, clusters of berries, tiny pumpkins or even seasonal vegetables.
• Set the table with lots of table textile - cover with a linen tablecloth, use runners, placemats and napkins. Cloth items create coziness, add warmth and induce relaxed atmosphere. Fall colors will do the best. White tablecloth is the all-times classic. Make your choice.
• You can use metal or linen napkin rings or you can fold your napkins into shapes instead of just laying them flat.
• If you choose autumn colors for your table, you might want to choose your dishware in white or some neutral pastel color.
• Should you choose leaves and fall flowers as your main theme, consider using a dark colored tablecloth - it will set off the color of leaves beautifully.
• Use lighter color napkins, roll them or fold beautifully, add a small golden leaf or a bright bloom to each of them.
• Remember - candles are never too many! You can add some richness to your table by using gold colored candlesticks or candles. Or just place lots of candles of the color that matches the décor. Actually, put them everywhere in the room - and do not forget to light them.

Tidy welcoming house, nice table décor, tasty meals are all important, but the most important thing for the gathering of family and friends to be very special is the host that is well rested, relaxed, caring and smiling! So, do not forget to take care of yourself - have a good rest and smile all the time!

What role does your bathroom take in your life? Is it a place for you to gather energy for a fresh day and relax after a hectic one? Is it a place to enjoy some moments on your own - maybe having a bath or going through some spa procedures? Or - maybe - it is a room you try to spend as little time as you can because it is not that beautiful and comfortable?

Let’s admit - bathroom plays an important role in one’s life. It’s a place we start and end our days. A place we take care of some special persons - ourselves, our children. And yet often we neglect this room. It starts gathering different jars, bottles and tubes, clothes pile on the floor, lots of small personal things cover shelves and counters.

You know what? Let’s revive our bathrooms! We should like them! A bathroom should be a place where transition - from sleep to wake, from busy day to relaxed, from business to leisure - happens graciously, smoothly and joyfully.

After tidying and order making happens, let’s add some texture and color - some style and coziness. And this is when gorgeous, colorful top quality linen towels become a necessity!

This time we present several new shades of our soft, highly-absorbent luxurious linen towels. Tangerine, orange, deep blue, lake blue, silver, white, coral, French blue - these are the colors that add taste to your bathroom and become delight for your eyes as well as take gentle care of your body.

Choose your favorite color or make a set - there are linen bath towels and linen hand towels available.

And then - enjoy your time at this special place of yours - your bathroom!

By the way - linen towels are a luxurious, cozy and stylish Christmas gift. You still have time to place an order and receive them before Cristmas Eve!

Being aware of the effect even simplest piece of table linen has on overall experience of a mealtime, LinenMe team keeps searching for best design ideas, experiment with colors and fabrics to put together a really unique linen napkin, linen tablecloth, runner or linen placemat that will surely delight the eyes and hearts of our customers.

This time we present brand new collection of linen table textile called Damask Rhomb. As the name suggests the table linens of this collection are made of damask weaved linen fabric and have subtle rhomb pattern all over them.

Simple at first glance linen napkins, runners and tablecloths reveal their true luxurious beauty when examined more closely. The fabric is dense, soft and pleasant to one’s skin, the pattern is elegant and colors (silver, zinc and burgundy) are rich.

All of the items are machine washable and gain their perfect shape when ironed still damp.

This time we’d like to speak of linen towels. We offer many of them. Different colors and designs but similar fabric, the same quality. Should you, like us, are deeply in love with this thin, highly absorbent, pleasant to one’s skin, fast drying and good looking piece of cloth, you might want to put together your own collection of linen bathroom towels.

Our fresh news is linen bath and hand towels from Multistripe and Venice collections. All of them have stripes of various widths, all of them are prewashed for maximum softness and to avoid shrinking and every collection features red, blue and black items. As well as towels from our beloved Provence collection. So why not to mix and match different designs in order to make your bathroom a stylish place?

Take a look at what our suggestion are and think some of your own. Enjoy!
