OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified
Linen at 160 g/m² is the weight where the fabric stops being crisp and starts to drape. Flax fibre is hollow, so it moves moisture away from you instead of holding it: cool in July, warm enough in January. It softens with every wash and never quite loses its texture.
You sleep hot and you want one set for the whole year.
Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Wash separately for the first few cycles: deep and saturated colours release a little dye at first. Do not bleach, do not dry clean.
Textured weaves such as seersucker, waffle and gauze are meant to look relaxed: they need no ironing, and they soften with every wash.

The fabric
The oldest bed fabric there is, and still the one that handles a warm night best.
Flax grows in damp, temperate coastal air, which is why the best of it comes from a narrow band running from Normandy to the Netherlands. The fibre is hollow, so it moves moisture instead of holding it. That single fact explains almost everything linen does in a bed.
Linen is woven open rather than tight. Air passes through it, which is what keeps the bed from getting that damp warmth at three in the morning. It also means linen creases, and no finish will stop that.
Wash it warm the first time and it will soften more in that one cycle than in the following ten. It keeps softening for years. Skip the iron; linen is meant to look relaxed, and pressing it flat removes the reason to buy it.
A little, if it has not been washed. Ours are stonewashed before cutting, so they arrive soft. Even so, the first wash at home makes a noticeable difference.
No. The hollow fibre works both ways: it carries heat away when you are warm and holds a layer of still air when you are not. It is the one fabric that genuinely works all year.
You do not, and that is the point. Shake it out when you make the bed and the folds fall into place. If a smooth bed matters to you, percale is the better choice.
