Hello all!! I am looking for trusted places to buy Linen or other natural clothing for our family. I buy some from Hanna Anderson for kids.

Hi Divya,

So I don’t have any official info on BEA linen on Etsy but the long nightgown and linen waffle throw are heaven. My friend got the sheets and loves them but they are not thick like the antique ones. They are organic and i get all raw linen. About 4 of my friends have purchased the same night gown and everyone is super happy. I have my eyes on some more. They have a lot of sales:)

Oh and I also like Coyuchi and some of Parachute items. Parachute linen is great. Love Coyuchi for organic cotton towels. Their cotton jersey sheets are snuggly on steroids. Their cotton linens are excellent and they just launched raw linen which i have not tried but great company

Be mindful of your detergents and machine residue… if you have a favorite non toxic soap… would love to hear about it.

Yes parachute is great! Back when I was working in Boston I’d been so healthy and had gotten everything so dialed- even down to my fabrics and hygiene…then life got crazy and I went American white trash and started shopping at Walmart and dealing with mold so the one investment that I made with parachute got bleached so you can identify it below: instead of gray it lost its dye and is pink. Jed is always like: why are we using this? What’s so special about it? And I’m like/: look at it! And the cat is all..:cuddling and purring on it. I guess some people aren’t attuned to the pure seemingly living force energy of natural textiles. I’ve copied the receipts from Meetra and Linenography on Etsy and parachute. if I were doing it again I may actually start with a consignment shop and then Etsy and then…only as a last resort an evil overpriced manufacturing plant. Crate and barrel, for example, had a big sale a while back…apparently the linens in that sale around Christmas were 100% linen. What I find from places like “lily silk” is that they are doing something sneaky – as though the silk, cashmere or linen is woven onto some kind of a synthetic frame-like matrix made out of elastic or something.

Side note: our daily sheets are cotton flannel from Walmart. They are just white and supposed to be %100 cotton…although they are not organic or LLBean quality and at first they shed in the dryer and on the bed basket balls worth of material…they only cost $5 for a king set with pillow cases! I feel like a set of sheets that are used that are completely made out of cotton are actually a pretty great stand-in for linen since most linen is just rough or exorbitant or treated with sketchy ish chemicals.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/LINENGRAPHY is pretty awesome! Meetralinen is ok, and this is the parachute sheet which the price is actually about the same since 2017 (mine was on sale ~$100

Hi Eliza,

Thank you for sharing these resources. Really important to have undyed and organic. The dyes can mess up the healing frequencies. Also best to not mix wool and linen as they cancel each other out.

Sorry to hear about your mold issues. Yuck.

Buying second hand unless unused opens you up to the toxins used in the cleaning products. I recommend Ebay for new second hand.

Some good ones here! Thank you!

This is off topic since it is organic cotton clothing, but for organic pima cotton (mostly women) I love http://www.fairindigo.com
Pay attention to reviews for sizing, especially for leggings, but their cotton is wonderful and I wear it all pretty much as my “uniform”. They actually purchased as well as leased land long term to grown their own organic pima cotton when 2020 hit, so they really do have some control over their products. The story is somewhere on their site.
