The linen-rayon blends are generally cheaper than 100% linen. They are a
good compromise if necessary. They have the added benefit of making the fabric

This statement is just not true. While linen does crease badly, rayon
wrinkles like crazy. Besides, I don't recall seeing this particular blend.
Cotton/linen, yes, and polyester/rayon (your "linen look"), yes.
FWIW, I have several bolts and pieces of linen-rayon in my stash.
Fabric.com sells it from time to time, and I see a lot of it on the
'dollar' aisle at Joann's and Hancocks chain stores.
My experience with it is that while it does wrinkle, it's much easier to
iron out afterward than 100% linen. :)
