Intro to Linen

18 Oct 2024

KathrynRobson

Linen is one of the oldest and most sustainable fabrics in the world. This fabric is known for its breathability, durability, and ability to keep you cool in warmer climates. Its natural fibres, derived from the flax plant, make linen a biodegradable and eco-friendly option for conscious consumers. Whether you’re wearing linen garments or styling your home with linen textiles, it’s a fabric that only gets better with age, becoming softer with each wear or wash. 

However, proper care is essential to maintain its beauty and longevity.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

At the heart of linen’s appeal is its low impact nature. The flax plant requires minimal water and pesticides, and every part of the plant can be used, leaving little waste behind. By choosing linen, you’re supporting a more responsible style. 

Linen offers better end-of-life pathways, as in single fibre form or when combined with other natural fibres like cotton, it can be recycled or can break down over time as it is biodegradable. enduring commitment to offering high-quality linen products is driven by the belief that sustainability and style should go hand in hand.

How to Care for Linen

Linen is naturally antimicrobial and highly breathable, making it less likely to hold onto odours. To keep your linen fresh between wears or uses, air it out by hanging in a well-ventilated area. Storing linen in a cool, dry place is key to preserving its quality. For linen home textiles, try to rotate items regularly to avoid excessive wear in one area.

Avoid hanging linen in direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause fading. Instead, dry linen in the shade or indoors to maintain its unique hues. Always iron or steam linen when it’s still slightly damp for a crisp finish.

How to Wash Linen

Always check the care label before washing, as some may have specific washing instructions. 

Linen should be washed in cold or lukewarm water, either by hand or in the washing machine on a gentle cycle. Use a mild, eco-friendly detergent to avoid harsh chemicals that could break down the fibres.
