Have you tired soaking your item in Oxyclean? It may be that you need to let your products work longer. or if it is a really old stain on linen it may be permanent.
Hi Kristi: It would be helpful if we knew what type of stain it was. However, you might try sprinkling baking soda on the stain and add a few drops at a time of vinegar. Blot the stain with a paper towel to soak up the moisture. Lemon juice will help whiten any dingy materials. Squeeze some juice onto a stain or discolored linen item and let it sit until you see it begin to lighten, and then rinse it out.
Or, Clorox recommends that you apply a little liquid dish washing detergent (the kind you use for hand washing dishes) to the stain and gently rub it in. Wait 5 minutes, and then rinse with a little warm water. This helps break up the oil. Pretreat again with a little liquid Clorox2®. Apply a little liquid directly to the stain and gently rub in. Wait 5 minutes, and then wash as directed on the care label using detergent and more Clorox2®. Good luck
Another vote for Oxy Clean. If you don't that on hand and are staying home mix 1/2 cup of hydrogen peroxide with 1/2 cup baking soda and you sort of make something similar. It works in a pinch.
Do you have any idea what the stain could have been caused from?
Do you know what the fabric content of the line item is? For example, 100% flax, 100% cotton, rayon/cotton blend, etc. (The piece in the photo above in Debbie's comment looks to me to be damask, not linen. As they are different fabrics with different fabric contents, they do not respond the same to washing solutions.
Has the linen item already been washed and dried?
If so, unfortunately the stain may have already set to a degree to which it may be irreversible.

Linen fabric is delicate and using Oxygen clean or bleach can damage the fabric. Enzyme cleaners are usually recommended or a dry cleaner...which you can't do right now. Here's a linen specific article that may help. http://www.linenstore.com/blog/how-to-get-stains-out-of-linen-tablecloths/
