To crease or not to crease?
• Designers have a wide range of linen fabrics to choose from, each with different creasing behaviors: classic plain weave, patterend weaves (such as a twill), knitted linen, stretch linen…
• Wrinkle-resistant finishes are used on fabrics to reduce the wrinkled effect.
• Washed linen (pre-washed with fabric softeners) does not need ironing and its irregular effects are used in fashion for a casual look and for home textiles for its decorative effect.
Easy to care for
• Linen fabrics are machine washable.
• 90° for white linen, 40° or 60°C for colours.
• Linen is easy to iron: preferably when the fabric is still damp and inside out.
• Avoid extensive spinning and tumble drying.
• Linen does not fluff or deform, thanks to its very structure: linen consists of long fibers, which is not the case with other natural fibers.
• It is possible to use oxygen-based bleach.
