Hemstitched Flax Napkins
Napkins with decorative hemstitching made from pure flax yarn, designed to enhance elegance without embroidery. Hemstitching is considered a plain finishing technique, not a decorative addition, so these napkins are classified as other table linen of flax under the residual subheading for flax table linen.
