Composition: 100% luxuriously soft pure linen Origin: Crafted from beginning to end in Europe Fibre: Made from fine individually dyed linen yarns spun from premium French and Belgian Flax Weight: 170 gsm Colour: Please note that HMCo linen is prewashed and softened to achieve a natural aged patina. Colour within any one article can be muted in places as a result. This is not a fault in our linen. It is done with intention to achieve our relaxed, aged style. Pending on availability, the European flax used to spin our yarns can vary from the grower. This can at times affect the dye lot within our yarns. Dye lot variation is common in processing natural fibres. Whilst we do our utmost to avoid this there can at times be slight variances to any colour within the HMCo range. We have offered some additional descriptions of our linen palette that may assist you when selecting a colour.

Avoid overfilling the machine so the product can move freely during the wash. To maintain the colour and integrity of your linen, we advise not to use bleach or detergents that contain optical brighteners or the enzyme cellulase and avoid exposure to continual sunlight. We suggest using a mild liquid detergent on all of our linen sheets, taking care to ensure your sheets are well-rinsed at the end of each cycle. Our linen has been pre-washed at very high temperatures to ensure that with proper care no further shrinkage should occur. DRY: We recommend tumble-drying safely on low to medium heat to keep your linen soft and maintain its textural appeal. IRON: While our linens can be ironed, it is not recommended as our products are designed to be relaxed in nature. Ironing at high temperatures may also burn linen fibre. NOTE: Linen will naturally shed over its lifetime. Therefore we recommend doing a linen-only cycle to avoid lint attaching to garments in other materials such as cotton T-shirts. IMPORTANT: As fitted sheets are subject to more friction than any other bedding item, they are also more prone to deterioration if overused and not cared for correctly. We recommend that you alternate your sheets as you would your clothes, with two fitted sheets on rotation to increase their longevity. Please keep in mind that in conjunction with increased wear and friction, the effectiveness of washing and the rate of wearing down can be compromised by natural body oils, fake tans, creams, lotions and moisturisers. Additionally, the loose, natural weave of linen can make it more susceptible to catching on jewellery, fingernails and sharp objects, so please take extra care when handling and using your linen bedding to avoid pulls and snags.
