Rives de Lin, literally Rives of Flax, is a mould made, acid free and buffered sheet containing 85% cotton and 15% linen. The linen content is identified by the three flowers of flax in its watermark. It has the look and feel of a handmade paper with long fluffy deckle edges. The linen content also gives the paper a tensile strength that makes it a superb choice for embossing. The paper is praised by many for its resilience and elasticity.
