Care.
With a minimum amount of proper care, pure linen will last a lifetime and can be passed from generation to generation.
Its luminous quality is caused by nodes on the flax fibers, which reflect light, and the more linen is washed the softer and more luminous it becomes.
TIPS
Once rinsing and spinning cycles on a washing machine are complete, either line dry the linen items, lay them flat or hang garments -- all until slightly damp. Avoid wringing out linen before drying.
A variety of drying methods is recommended for linen: line drying, machine drying or rolling in terry towels. Whatever method you use, remember to remove the linen from the line, the dryer or the towels while it is still damp. If linen dries thoroughly, it becomes brittle and takes several hours to recover its natural moisture and full flexibility. (The natural moisture content of linen is between 6-8%. Linen dried beyond this point will re-absorb moisture from the air.)
If you tumble dry, ensure the temperature is on low.
Although i prefer to keep my linen, un-ironed, and embrace the organic ruffled look, if you would like to iron your linen. Our hot tip is store linen items in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer for 6 to 24 hours before ironing. This will it easier to iron and will prevent mildew.
Each of our linen items come in it's own Dazed but Amazed pure linen tote bag. Place your freshly cleaned items in this slip in a cool, dry, well ventilated area. For perfect safe keeping, for the generations to follow.
Hand Dyed to Order Linen.
The hand dyed linens are designed to fade with wash and wear and is the gorgeous nature of hand dyeing. The hue will soften and settle in over the first few washes.
Care for the hand dyed to order linens is the same as above, no extra care is needed with the exception of avoiding drying in the sun. As the UV will bleach the hand dye, and wash separately until the colour has settled.
