some info about linen fabrics and how to care for them
Linen is a pure natural fabric of great beauty with unique
features, a noble fabric since ancient times, treasured by the Egyptian
Pharaoh's before the Europeans and Russians. Linen is derived from the flax
plant which grows well in cool, damp climates such as found in northern Europe,
the Baltics and northern Russia. Flax is sown in the autumn and harvested 100
days later by hand. The flax is left exposed to the sun to weather, then
washed, scoured and cleaned before being spun into yarn and woven into linen
fabric. Flax is fully biodegradable and environmentally friendly. Linen is soft
to handle and comfortable with excellent insulating properties. Quality Linen
is produced by mills in Europe that have a long tradition in the art of linen
production and where quality control is strictly maintained.Quality Linens are
all washed twice at the mill to reduce possible shrinkage.
Care Instructions
Most fabrics will fade and eventually wear out which, for
fabric lovers, is part of their charm. With proper care linen can last for many
years and be a source of pride and joy to the user. Being of natural fibres,
small imperfections can sometimes be found such as knobs and slubs which is
normal, and part of their charm. Shrinkage and stretching can occur so
allowances of 4% - 6% is recommended to accommodate this. Depending on climatic
conditions they are more prone to movement, in wet, damp conditions or high in
humidity. Stretching can occur particularly with heavier weights so we recommend
that bottom hems not be finished until hung when adjustments can be made. Again
this is subject to humidity as linen absorbs moisture which can cause the
problem. Many people prefer to let the curtains balloon onto the floor which is
a nice generous effect. All curtains should be fully lined to protect them from
harsh sunlight and furniture should also be protected from direct sun.
Furniture and curtains should be vacuumed from time to time to prevent dirt
building up. Washing can be done by hand in a tub or if machine washed
protected in a bag. Use clean water with a mild detergent at temperature of
40°. No bleach or chlorine to be used. Stone washed linens are NOT washable and
should be Dry-cleaned only For stains or marks apply a damp or wet clean cloth
and rub gently. Do not rub excessively hard as colour can remove.
