Cotton, Rayon, or Linen?
We are constantly asked: "What's the difference between Cotton, Rayon, and Linen?"
It really comes down to what look you are trying to achieve. Cotton and Linen provide a matte finish where Rayon has a more of a shiny cloth covering. As far as durability, all three coverings have proven to hold up very well over time and wear very well.
Aesthetically, cotton and linen's matte covering is more appropriate on appliances and more utilitarian lighting lamps. Rayon, which like silk is shiny, is ideal for more elegant lamps, radios, phonographs, etc.
Need a custom length? Not a problem. Drop me a note and I'll be happy to work out special pricing for you.
