Uses & Applications:
This linen is well suited for:

Summer / warm weather garments: blouses, dresses, skirts, tunics

Lightweight jackets, layering pieces

Shirts, overshirts

Home accents: light drapery, table linens, cushion covers (especially where linen’s texture is desired)

Accessories that benefit from linen’s texture (scarves, wraps, lightweight bags)

Because linen breathes and has a bit of body, it’s good for garments that you want structure in but not heaviness.

Care & Behavior:
Pre‑wash is recommended, as linen usually shrinks (especially in the first wash)
Use cold or gentle wash, preferably hand wash or gentle cycle
Line dry or flat dry in shade to prevent distortion

Ironing: linen tends to wrinkle, so a hot iron with steam or pressing while damp helps
Over time, the fabric will soften and drape more gracefully from repeated washing
