Care instructions:
We recommend machine washing at 30C on a gentle or linen cycle using a mild detergent. For the first few washes, adding a handful of table salt can help fix the dye. Do not tumble dry. Shake out and dry flat, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading. Linen fibres may tighten after washing but will soften again with wear.
Buying guide: Sold by the half metre. For example, order a quantity of 2 for 1 metre.
