What is metis linen? Metis means "mix" The French seem to have the innate ability to blend beauty and utility creating wonderful everyday items like this monogrammed metis linen sheet   Metis means "mix" which is exactly what metis linen is, usually a mix of 35% cotton and 65% linen  Pure linen in the warp or woof and cotton in the weft or warp.  (although other fibre combinations were also woven such as 30/70 or 70/30.) Metis linen is the "workhorse" of French bedding.It is a heavy-duty fabric designed to be washed repeatedly and to stand up to the rough washing techniques of long ago.  Appearing in France in the early 1900s, metis linen was introduced as a less expensive bedding material than pure linen, it is easier to iron, and  It quickly became a welcomed wedding gift or part of a young girl's dowry.  Metis linen has been handed down through generations  SHIPPING I send from my home here in France, using reliable, efficient, fully tracked & insured couriers   The UK £18 EU £10 PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU WANT A QUOTE I ALWAYS DO MY BEST TO SAVE MONEY ON POSTAGE COSTS  WORLDWIDE  I regularly ship worldwide  USA example 2 kilos packed £28 Australia please contact me for costs.
