Linen is just as easy to look after as cotton, but it is more durable and gets better with each wash, unlike cotton which can become threadbare as the fibres are weakened. Linen uses less resources in its production, so it is also a more eco-friendly, sustainable fabric.
Feel free to machine (tumble) dry your linen clothes or textile, as long as you stick to low temperatures. Remove from the dryer when still slightly damp to avoid the linen becoming stiff, and hang or lie flat to finish off the drying process.
We read your blog and it is very beautiful and the content is also good, you have well described the fabric well and I liked it so thank you, Silk is a very good fabric, people do it in abundance and it is available in many colors and it is easy to do clothes made of silk. But silk is expensive as compared to other fabrics and it feels royal but few people are aware of how to wash it. You can wash silk very easily like you can with normal water using detergent and laundry liquid And after washing it can be easily dried in the sun.
Hello,I have a new bedcover-55% cotton & 45% linen. Iam unhappy with the color-pale yellow.I want to bleach it a little but the care instructions say not to bleach! Can you tell me the reason why I cannot bleach it?Appreciate your help.Thanks,Barbara
I would like to wash the fabric before sewing it into curtains in order to shrink it first so that I can wash the curtains in the future, when needed. Besides having the fabric shrink, what is the worst that could happen if I wash this fabric? Thank you! Robin
I would like to have linen slipcovers made for my sofa & chairs. Could you please tell me what weight linen is most desirable for furniture slipcovers? Also, any special instructions for using linen slipcovers or anything else I should know before purchasing linen fabric for slipcovers?Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer to me!
There are couple of aspects to consider here. The recommended quality of linen fabrics for slipcovers would be between 200 g/m2 and 350g/m2. Obviously the lighter fabric would be a bit softer and the heavier one more durable (in case it will be used intensively).
It sounds like washing linen in cold water will cause it to shirk 10 % . So I just wear it?I am not happy that I can not rise it in cold water.This is a dress which was made in China.So I will not buy this type of dress?Thanks.D. Trel
I have had good results getting oil stains out with dawn dish soap. It has never bleached my fabric, but I have read that it can. So test a small spot first if you are worried. It may be too late for this, but I also never dry in a dryer until I get the stain out. Drying tends to make the stains stick. Clorox 2 has also been effective for me, and resolve carpet stain remover when almost nothing else will work. Let cleaner sit on stain over night, wash in the morning. Air dry, do it again until stain comes out.
Thank you for this question. Yes in fact linen (flax) is natural cellulose fiber. When the clothes are washed, they soak up a lot of water, swelling up. Then when they dry they shrink to their normal size, and start curling up which makes them a bit smaller than they originally were. The water molecules also act as a lubricant between the cellulose molecules, easing the way to get close to each other. This effect is strongest on fibers which absorb most water, especially cotton, linen, and wool. Hope this helps.
I recently bought some linen fabrics and I plan to make them into shirts and blouses. Should I wash the fabric first to soften it before sewing? The one that I have it made was very stiff so its not comfortable to wear yet. How can I soften the linen quickly? Thanks
Yes, it is recommended to wash before sewing as it not only make it softer, but also help you to avoid problem with sizing (as linen fabric shrinks the most after the first wash). For softening use regular fabric softener when washing.
It really depends on the origins of this stain. Take a look at this article. It has nifty stain removal chart in it: -tips-for-taking-care-of-your-table-linen-washing-stain-removal-kitchen-tablecloths-napkins/
I have just bought an inexpensive linen jacket, which is a bit stiff but the instructions say do not wash! The jacket is 100% linen but the lining is polyester. Is there anything I can do to soften it without washing? Or should I just wash it anyway? Thanks
Thank you for your linen care tips.I have just bought few linen cloths for shirts. The shopkeeper said put the cloths in water before giving for stitching to avoid shrinking. But when I put into water the colors of cloths began coming out. Is there any tips to keep the colors without going while washing.
You have to look at manufacture instructions or contact them directly in case you lost them. It really depends on how the fabric was dyed or printed. If it is good quality fabric you should be able to wash it in low temperatured though it is also normal that after many washes the colours will slightly fade.
Linen fabric shrinks that is the fact. Depending on the weaving technique it can shrink 2-5%. It shrinks the most after the first wash and even more if you use dryer for the first time. With linen clothes it is better to avoid dryer if possible, if you use it use lowest temperature setting. We make all LinenMe clothes from pre-washed fabric, but other manufactures make linen clothes from not washed fabric then it is the best to buy linen clothes one size bigger than your size.
I noticed there were only women that responded! I just bought some great linen shirts and I appreciated the information that you have above. I do the washing the majority of the time.Thank youJoe
You can try to add cornstarch to the rinse cycle (2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 1 cup cold water) to add body and crispness.Use spray-on starch or fabric sizing for areas like collars and cuffs that you want particularly crisp. The starch also helps to protect the linen from stains.
Hi, My mother accidentally washed my 100% linen bedding with regular detergent and then put it in the dryer until it was hot/dry. It was very soft initially, but it is rough and crackly now. I think it will still fit my bed, but will it soften again with time? Is there anything I can do to soften it (put natural oils back in it somehow, or wet it again and dry it gently), or will it soften as it absorbs moisture from the air?Thank you!!Sarah
I am about to purchase linen 100% tee shirts. Would it be better to purchase a mixture of linen and cotton for better wear and less wrinkles when washed . Could you if possible send me an e mail via my e mail address as I am not so good at computers. Many many thanks for your help and advice 041b061a72
