What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the Heath Ceramics Linen Hopsack Placemats for their exceptional quality and sophisticated design. The linen hopsack material is lauded for its substantial, durable feel and beautiful natural texture, significantly elevating any dining setting. The Mattone Red color is a key highlight, offering a rich, warm tone that perfectly complements various dinnerware styles.

Know before you buy
Because these are crafted from 100% linen, we recommend machine washing on a gentle cycle with cold water. To maintain the integrity of the fringe, air drying is best, though you can use a cool iron if you prefer a crisp, pressed look.
Yarn-dyed means the individual threads are colored before the fabric is woven, rather than printing the color onto the finished cloth. This process ensures the Mattone Red remains vibrant and resists fading over time.
The fringe is a deliberate design element woven into the construction of the fabric. While some minor shedding is natural with linen textiles, the weave is durable and designed to hold its shape through regular use.
Linen is naturally durable and absorbent, making these suitable for everyday dining. For best results, treat spills immediately by blotting the area rather than rubbing, which helps protect the textured weave.
Yes, the linen hopsack weave provides a substantial, weighted feel that allows the placemats to drape and lay flat on your table surface. The vintage shuttle loom construction creates a high-quality, consistent tension throughout the fabric.
