About Linen

Linen is a textile made from the fibers of the flax plant. Linen is laborious to manufacture, but the fiber is very absorbent and garments made of linen are valued for their exceptional coolness and freshness in hot weather.
Linen textiles appear to be some of the oldest in the world: their history goes back many thousands of years. Fragments of straw, seeds, fibers, yarns, and various types of fabrics dating to about 8000 BC have been found in Swiss lake dwellings. The discovery of dyed flax fibers in a cave in Georgia dated to thirty-six thousand years ago suggests that ancient people used wild flax fibers to create linen-like fabrics from an early date.
Flax is grown in many parts of the world, but top quality flax is primarily grown in mild climate European countries.
Linen for this product is in Lithuania. I source and transport the materials myself to keep a close eye on its quality.

Linen Care

When washing linen it is important to select the correct washing agent. Many detergents contain whitening agents and are a good choice for white linens. These however are not recommended for colored linens because may lead to discoloring and spotting.
For colored linen chose either detergent not containing whitening agents or soap powder.

If you wash your linen in water with a high lime content, it is better to use a softening agent, especially for darker colors.

Wash your linens at max. 40°C - 104°F.
If possible use a mild soap. Avoid chlorine bleach.
If possible, line dry, it is best for linen and the environment.
If using a tumbler, dry on medium heat, do not over dry it in the machine.
Iron with steam on slightly damp linen from the inside of the fabric.
