My LYS has a gorgeous shawl made with Euroflax Linen, and it is soooo soft. I think that is totally doable.
Also, have you considered hand towels? Mason Dixon Knits swear by using linen for hand towels. Apparently they last *forever*, becoming more heirloom-y and softer the longer you have them and the more you wash them...just saying that it's a great house guest gift...or housewarming gift...or whatever. Or just hoard for yourself.
