MATERIAL AND SOURCING
Linen or flax is a strong, durable and does not pill. As a highly absorbent fiber, it dries very fast in comparison with cotton and is antibacterial. This makes it ideal for everyday use in the house.
The linen Marianne Just uses is either grown in Sweden or in Belgium, though the labour intensiveness of linen means that it is highly like that it is produced from fiber to yarn in China.
NATURAL VS. ECRU
The unbleached linen (Natural) will over time become lighter with wash and sunlight. This is the characteristics of natural linen.
As a natural, non dyed material, it will become lighter and more beautiful as the material ages.
The half-bleached linen (Ecru) has gone through a bleaching process and will become more white over time with wash and sunlight.
CARE
Shrinkage up to 10%
For best care of linen textiles, it is preferable to wash them as gently as possible, washing them between 40-60C in a half filled washing machine to not create sharp creases that can damage the fibers. Ideally do not wash with frotté towels, as these will scratch the linen fibers.
Drip dry only, do not tumble dry. Stretching before hanging to get rid of creases
Iron at 200C, with steam.
