It's actually better in some ways than sourcing NEW cotton, organic or not. The hope is that one day, it will all be organic and we won't have to make that choice. One other think that she does to be responsible is source locally - cutting down on transportation cost and supporting her local and US economy. I believe that everything is machine washable according to the site - the quality of the linen is very good from what I've seen so far. I would just wash gently. Best - Courtney Hi Aaron,

According to the product website, they're made from recycled content, but they also say that they're made of linen. Is that washable?? I kinda wish that they were made from organic cotton or bamboo, but if this linen would have otherwise gone on the scrap heap, then I guess the product really does qualify for eco-friendliness... - Aaron Dalton, 1GreenProduct.com You’re right, these do like stylish.
