Linen wrinkles and creases very easily so if you want it to appear smooth and flat, it needs ironing. It may also need starching. However, the wrinkles in the fabric are often considered part of linen’s character, and many linen garments are now designed to be air-dried and worn without ironing.
Tips for machine washing linen
• Check the care label for guidance on washing temperature.
• Always separate dark/coloured linens from white or off-white linens to avoid colour transfer in the wash.
• The first time you wash a linen article, wash it separately from other materials. Linen can cause lint.
• Linen is a natural fibre that can absorb a lot of water. This means it is prone to heavy creasing in the wash. If you give linen items a lot of space to move around in the washing machine drum, this should reduce the amount of creasing. It is best to only half fill the machine.
• Avoid using bleach on linen, as this weakens the fibres and it may affect the colour of dyed linens.
• Bleach particles in conventional washing powder make natural linen colour fade, so use only mild detergents.
• If possible, choose a wash programme with a long soak, a short wash/rinse and a short spin and using a moderate to cool temperature.
• When the wash cycle is finished, immediately remove items from the machine to avoid any extra creasing.
• Straighten out and gently stretch the linen after the wash.
• Line-dry or air dry or dry flat.
•Do not tumble dry linen, as it may leave permanent creasing and it will shorten the life of the item. If you dry linen in a hot tumble dryer, it can shrink up to 15%.
Note: Linen can generally be machine washed at high temperatures but this can cause shrinkage. Modern detergents generally work just as well at a lower temperature so it is not necessary to use a hot wash. We recommend the maximum temperature you use for linen is 60°C.
Hand washing linen
Fine embroidered or hand hemmed/stitched linen items need extra care. It is usually best to hand wash these items or take them to a professional cleaner.
• Use water that is comfortably warm to the touch (blood heat) and also ensure you use the correct washing detergent (see advice above). This should be dissolved/evenly distributed in the water before you add the item.
• Let the item soak for up to two hours to ensure the fibres are saturated.
• Use gentle agitation to wash the item.
• Rinse the item in three clean rinses of cool water, or rinse until the water is clear.
• Between rinses and at the end of the wash, squeeze the excess water out of the item.
• Starch the item at this stage (if you are using starch).
• Dry flat if possible, gently pulling item to the correct size. Alternatively line-dry or air dry. Do not tumble dry.

These are a large A3-size calendar, with cover printed on 300gsm gloss art board and the pages printed on 150gsm gloss art paper.
These are printed locally in Petone at Valley Print. The calendars are $28 each inclusive of GST, plus courier at cost. Courier (NZ Post) is usually $11.80 (a little less for Wellington, but whatever the cost it will be on your invoice), plus approximately $3 extra for RD, but you can get up to six calendars for the one shipping cost.
These are posted in archive envelops inside home compostable bio plastic courier bags from a New Zealand Company called R3 - this is included for free!
If you are in the Hutt, you are welcome to pick up from Woburn and save the courier cost. GST tax invoices available when calendars arrive back from the printers. Payment on invoice by deposit into my account when the calendars arrive back and are ready to ship, or cash on pick-up. Calendars should be ready to ship by mid October.
There is absolutely no problem if you pre-order and then change your mind before I ship them, as the extras I had printed sold out last year and several people missed out.
Thanks for supporting my venture. Message me or Email me on louise@louisethomas.co.nz if you would like a PDF of the whole calendar to have a look at before you order.
