Care Guide
Special Notes
• Gets softer with each wash
• Use eco-friendly detergent
Additional Care Tips
- • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — or hand wash for best fiber preservation
- • Line dry preferred — lay flat for structured pieces to prevent distortion
- • Iron while slightly damp on medium-high heat with steam — linen tolerates heat well
- • Use eco-friendly, plant-based detergent to match the organic ethos
- • Avoid bleach and fabric softener — both weaken flax fibers; linen softens naturally with washing
- • Store folded; hanging heavy linen pieces can stretch them over time
