EspañolBecause linen is a stronger fabric, it will last longer. While cotton bedding and pillows feel smooth when new, they can lose their softness and begin to disintegrate with repeated use and washing. Linen, however, actually gets softer over time and improves as it ages.
What is so special about linen?
Linen is a hollow fibre, much like wool and it is a breathable fabric, keeping you warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. Pure linen can absorb as much as 20% of its weight in moisture before feeling wet, always having a pleasant, fresh, cool feeling when against your skin or being slept on.
Is linen good for hot weather?
Linen is another top choice for a breathable fabric to wear in hot weather conditions. It is also very light and is loosely woven which allows heat to escape from the body. It absorbs a lot of moisture and dries quickly, keeping you cool and dry.
Can you wash linen?
Linen that has been correctly manufactured and treated can be machine or hand washed. It can even be tumble dried on low temperatures. The only garments that are better being dry cleaned are more structured, tailored items such as linen jackets or suits, due to the way they are constructed.
