Finer linens are usually characterized by a combination of beautiful materials, expert construction, fine workmanship, and design. Most finer linens are made from linen or cotton because both are so durable and pleasant to the touch. A smaller number is also made of silk, which is preferred by many because it drapes so beautifully. In terms of construction, finer linens are smooth and soft. Depending on the weave, they may also be lustrous, but never shiny. One good way to determine quality in linen is to hold it up to tablecloth a light: in finer linens, no coarse knots or uneven slubs should be visible, while in lesser-quality items, they are scattered throughout.
