FABRIC

What is linen?

  • Linen, a captivating and natural material, endows a multitude of advantages to those who incorporate it into their home and family products.
  • Our linen products embody a harmonious fusion of longevity, sophistication, comfort, and aesthetic appeal, rendering them a flawless choice for any home.
  • Additionally, linen is renowned for its eco-friendliness as it is crafted from flax, a crop that necessitates minimal amounts of water and pesticides, exemplifying our commitment to sustainability.

What type of linen are used in your products?

  • We currently utilize 2 types of European linen. A linen twill, and a lightweight linen weave. 
  • The majority of our products use a lightweight linen weave.
  • Any items that are twill, are listed with twill in the colour swatch, title, or fabric description.
  • If you have any questions, just shoot us a message here, or find us on Facebook, or Instagram (links in website footer).

Lightweight Linen Weave

  • Weight: 185 grams per square metre
  • Description: A lightweight linen weave refers to a type of linen fabric that is woven in a way that creates a relatively thin and airy texture. This type of linen is often preferred for warm weather clothing, as it allows for good air circulation and breathability. 
  • Lightweight linen weaves can be achieved through a variety of techniques, such as using a loose weave or a fine yarn, and can result in fabrics that range from semi-sheer to slightly opaque. 
  • Despite its light and airy quality, lightweight linen is still a strong and durable material that can stand up to frequent use and washing.
  • It is often used for summer dresses, shirts, and blouses, as well as for curtains, tablecloths, and other home decor items.

Linen Twill

  • Weight: 220 grams per square metre
  • Description: Linen twill is a type of fabric made from flax fibers that are woven together in a twill pattern, resulting in a diagonal ribbing on the surface of the fabric. 
  • This weaving technique creates a strong, durable, and wrinkle-resistant fabric that is commonly used for clothing, home textiles, and upholstery. 
  • Linen twill is known for its distinctive texture, softness, and breathability, making it a popular choice for warm-weather garments and linens.

Why natural fabrics? 

  • At our company, we have a deep-rooted conviction that natural products are the optimal choice for our homes and our planet. Our commitment to using only the highest-quality, all-natural materials in our products is a reflection of our values. 

Why European Linen? 

  • We pride ourselves on our selection of fabrics that capture the timeless elegance of European linen which we use to craft a range of products that are both comfortable and sustainable.
  • European linen is a type of linen fabric that is made from flax fibers grown in Europe, particularly in countries such as Belgium, France, and Ireland, where the cool climate and rich soil are ideal for producing high-quality flax. 
  • The term "European linen" refers not only to the origin of the flax, but also to the traditional methods used in its cultivation, harvesting, and processing.
  • European linen is known for its superior quality, durability, and softness, making it a popular choice for luxury linens and high-end apparel.
CARE/USE

Washing Linen Fabric

  • Wash in cool or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle
  • Avoid bleaching
  • Air-dry if possible

Ironing Linen Fabric

  • Use a low to medium heat setting
  • Use light water mist to help remove wrinkles, if required

Embracing Natural Wrinkles

  • Linen may wrinkle easily due to its natural texture
  • Consider embracing the natural wrinkles or choosing a linen blend with a wrinkle-resistant treatment

Storing Linen Fabric

  • Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew or discoloration

Longevity of Linen Fabric

  • With proper care, linen can last for many years
  • Becomes even softer with each use
  • A worthwhile investment for sustainable and long-lasting clothing and home textiles
