Design:Rough Linen Bedding
Materials: Natural linen with a homespun feel
Designer: Tricia Rose
"I modelled my simple, elemental bedding on a homespun, handwoven pillowcase made by my great-grandmother, which I discovered in the old linen press of my family home. When I found a similar linen, I made bedding first just for myself, but other people liked it and it took off."
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED ON THIS ENTRY

"I have now commissioned double-width fabric woven to my specification, am just adding slight-less-rough sheets to the existing Rough Linen duvet covers and shams, and my range is carried by six shops, and growing."

Shaw's Original Fir...
I love real linen - this is perfect!
Looks beautiful, but exactly how rough is it? Linen can be VERY rough. And YMMV but I don't have the time to iron sheets.
Thorndale, try spraying your linen curtains with a water spray bottle - the wrinkles will release, and you will have a soft textured 'linen' look~
This only works if you don't want them crisp and pressed! Can't help you there...
STH, I wouldn't sleep under it if it weren't soft - the whole idea is to have that soft linen texture, without ironing. Promise...
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!!!!!!
I like my linen the way I like my men: a gray, wrinkled mess with an air of austere elegance. Seriously. This bedding makes me swoon a little.
I have pillow shams from Rough Linen and they are great. The pictures are accurate--the shams don't look terribly wrinkly. And they feel very soft.
...and yes, that is a vodka bottle by the bed, but it holds water...
Relaxed and elegant! Great advice about water spray. I never want to look over-ironed (face, jeans or linen!)
some people think linen is rough but there is nothing like linen sheets from around 1890. Use makes them better and better.
Awesome !!!***
time passed by, love remains nearby
I love the hand linen has, this might very well be the bedding set of my dreams!
I like it. When I get around to finding some nice heavy linen, I have a drapes and duvet cover project to get busy on
I'm loving the rough linen line, it's casual, and so beautiful in its "rough" look, and feels close to nature.
It looks nice in a casual way, but I think it would be a little scratchy.
Just scrumptious - there is nothing like natural linen sheets...a really fabulous look.
I'd have no qualms sleeping under that lovely linen. It is absolutely gorgeous!
The best night's sleep I've ever had! It's not at all scratchy it just feels divinely caressing.
love it!
Just so lovely and natural...a real look for todays living.. 5 stars!!!!
Rough Linen Bedding...her sheets and duvet covers...are #1 on my wishlist for my master bedroom. Just look at the textures...timeless. And the quality is unparalleled.

Not just pretty in pictures -- these are the linens your kids, kids will cherish (even with coffee stains and "rough" wear. The colors and feel of these are just magnificent. I wish I could give these more than 3 stars! Wedding gifts, anniversary, best buds. . . best gift ever.
I received these as a gift from the most amazing person in the world. I'd never thought of my bedsheets before (I'm a computer guy) but these make me excited to slip into bed at night. They're very soft, and not that horrible oily satin-y texture that so many store bought sheets have. I've been very surprised by how many people have commented on them. One of the best gifts I've ever received.
I happen to own one of the lucky shops that sells Rough Linen. I can attest that it is Rough, but in a good, tactile way. My customers love it, and so do I!
I love Tricia's bedding. It's gorgeous! I was fortunate to see it in person last week at Saffron & Genevieve in Santa Cruz. I plan on ordering one for my new guest room!
Tricia also authors one of my favorite blogs, Cabin on the Water. A must read!
Good Luck Tricia... You rock!
Love these. Saw them at Saffron and Genevieve in Santa Cruz a few weeks ago. They look and feel great. Hoping to get a duvet set for myself soon!
I just want to get tucked up underneath all that linen gorgeousness & stay snuggled there ALL day....its very wet & miserable here today!
Love the look, love the soft colours, love the feel. The term "rough" may be a bit of a misnomer - brings up images of scratchy and harsh. How about "gentle", "natural"?
perfection in linens.

Stunning! Very subtle pallette.
Unique.
Stunning - there really is nothing quite like sleeping in pure linen sheets.....
