What is the difference between printed cotton & printed linen?Updated 7 days ago
If you're deciding between Printed Cotton and Printed Linen for your pillow or curtain, here's a quick comparison to help:
- Printed Cotton is 100% cotton, digitally printed in the USA. It's incredibly versatile and perfect for lighter projects like pillows, drapery, and lampshades. It’s more affordable at $72/yard and offers a softer feel but with a lower rub count (12,000 double rubs), making it great for spaces that aren’t subject to heavy wear and tear.
- Printed Linen is a luxurious blend of 82% linen and 18% cotton, offering a more textured look. Digitally printed in Italy, it’s durable with a higher rub count (18,000–35,000 cycles), making it an excellent choice for upholstery, drapery, and pillows that will be used frequently. It’s priced at $158/yard.
Both are beautiful options, so it comes down to the type of project you're working on and the level of durability you need.
