| Friday Fun Fact! Let's talk about linen! Linen is made from flax, a woody bast fiber. Take a look at the stages needed to process flax into linen! One thing about pure, natural linen: it can wrinkle. You can fight against this natural tendency by dry-cleaning, ironing constantly, avoiding washing, and never sitting down. OR, you can embrace the wrinkles. Linen will soften with every wash, and rather then deep creases, you will have a softly textured appearance. It's part of linen's natural character and charm. We recommend washing linen in cool or warm water by hand or machine. You can choose to tumble dry, to soften the linen, or hang it up to dry to preserve more of the crispness. Iron your linen before it is fully dry. The dampness helps get rid of wrinkles! Of course, whichever method you choose, always pre-wash first, unless you plan to dry clean. You can also choose linens blended with cotton or rayon to help prevent wrinkling. At Treadle, we carry a lot of different weights and blends for all your linen needs!
