WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
Linen is like life – beautiful, a little wrinkled at times, and always at its best when treated with care. Here are our best tips to keep your Lovely Linen favourites looking great for a long time.
Our most relaxed collections enjoy the washing machine, but they do prefer a gentle touch:
- Wash at a maximum of 60°C, preferably with similar colours.
- Use a mild detergent – nothing harsh or scary.
- We recommend tumble drying! It brings out that soft, beautifully wrinkled texture we love.
- No tumble dryer? Hang to dry, shake it out and give it a gentle stretch.
Tip! Linen is a natural material and may “shed” a little at first – just like wool. This will stop after a few washes (around 3–5).
Want to speed things up? Lightly iron after the first wash to bind the fibres.
When not in use, roll your linen instead of folding it – it likes that.
Classic is for those who like things neat and tidy:
- Wash at up to 60°C with similar colours.
- Always use a mild detergent.
- Air dry – tumble dryers are a no-go.
- Iron or mangle to keep that sleek, classic look.
Rustic loves personality, but it has its boundaries:
- Wash at up to 60°C with similar colours.
- Always stick to mild detergent.
- Air dry on a drying rack.
- Want a smoother look? Iron or mangle after drying.
Breezy is our durable jute collection. It can handle a lot – but not the washing machine:
- Do not wash or tumble dry.
- Simply wipe clean with a damp cloth – preferably one of ours.
Not sure which collection you’ve got?
No worries – it happens to the best of us. The easiest way to find out is by checking your order confirmation. That’s where you’ll see exactly what you brought home.
Still not sure? Feel your way forward – each collection has its own personality:
- Lovely, Misty and Grace – soft, stonewashed, beautifully wrinkled. Feels like a lazy Sunday in fabric form.
- Classic – pressed and slightly stiffer, with that smooth, timeless look. A bit more structured.
- Rustic – thick and textured with a solid, raw feel. Loves contrast and character.
- Breezy – jute, not linen. Natural, tough – and definitely no fan of the washing machine.
Do you still have any questions? Just get in touch – we’ll help you figure out what’s hiding in the linen cupboard.
Linen has a mind of its own (just a little)
Our linen products may shrink by 3–5% when washed – completely normal. Follow our care tips and your linen will stay beautiful, strong and ready for everyday life.
