I love the shabby relaxed look of a wrinkled cloth on my wood table. How can I get this after washing?

If you scrunched it up wet and placed it into a mesh bag so that it dries slowly, then it should come out crumpled.
Brilliant! Thank you!
Leave it in the dryer with towels. Or spray it lightly, crumble it and put the ball of fabric into a plastic bag for a bit.
Hi Bella, Linen wrinkles easily. so just wad it up into a ball and put a couple of large rubber bands around it, or store it that way after laundering and it will be appropriately "wrinkled".
Thank you,and can't believe I misspelt LINEN!!!!!!!
How funny! I am going on a camping trip this weekend and I just ironed the tablecloths for the picnic tables!
Bella, when your linen comes out of the dryer it's very wrinkled so what about using steam to "relax" it to what ever degree you want. You could use a steamer if you have one, but I was thinking that holding a steam iron close to the fabric push that steam button on it. I think that might work. Good luck.
