Christmas Cloth Napkins

Christmas cloth napkins in 100% cotton — yarn-dyed jacquard tartan at 200 gsm or reactive-dye printed motifs at 180 gsm, 20 × 20 in. dinner square. Our Christmas cloth napkins are put away each January, softer every December.

Cloth, not paper — because candlelight is kinder to fabric

Cloth, not paper — because candlelight is kinder to fabric. Put away each January, softer every December. A Christmas cloth napkin is the annual textile you bring out for the meal of the year and then box for eleven months, so it needs to hold up to a decade of that rotation.

Jacquard plaid or reactive-dye print

Two constructions in the Christmas range. Jacquard plaid: yarn-dyed 100% cotton at 200 gsm, red-and-green tartan or buffalo check woven into the fabric — the pattern is dimensional and never cracks. Reactive-dye print: 180 gsm cotton with pigment bonded chemically to the fibre — gingerbread, Nordic fair-isle, hand-lettered typography. Both stay bright through decades of December washes.

Which Christmas napkin for which table

Traditional plaid on reclaimed wood with candles reads country-Christmas. Gingerbread print on a modern white kitchen reads playful-Christmas. Fair-isle on a Scandinavian table reads Nordic-Christmas. Typography on cream with brass reads restrained-Christmas.

Frequently asked questions

Jacquard or print Christmas napkins?

Jacquard is dimensional and never cracks — the long-life choice. Print offers wider designs (Nordic, gingerbread, typography). Both work.

How to store Christmas napkins between Decembers?

Wash and dry fully before boxing. Fold flat rather than cram. Damp storage grows mildew over eleven months.

Do Christmas napkins fade?

Not on our jacquard or reactive-print constructions. Pigment prints (not ours) crack by year two.

Standard Christmas napkin size?

20 × 20 in. dinner. For the Christmas plate specifically, some prefer 22 × 22 in. — see our Thanksgiving dinner napkins for that size.
