MEND, WASH, KEEP
Plain fibres ask for less than you think. Wash them cool, dry them in the air and mend a thin patch before it becomes a hole.
| Step | How |
|---|---|
| Wash | 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with similar colours. |
| Dry | Line dry in the shade. Shake out before hanging. |
| Iron | Iron damp on a medium heat, or not at all. |
| Store | Fold loosely. Do not hang a heavy linen dress for months. |
| Step | How |
|---|---|
| Wash | By hand or on the wool cycle at 30 degrees. |
| Dry | Dry flat on a towel, away from direct heat. |
| Iron | Press lightly under a damp cloth. |
| Store | Fold with a lavender bag. Check for moths each season. |
| Step | How |
|---|---|
| Wash | 30 degrees with similar colours. |
| Dry | Line dry. Tumble drying shortens the fibre. |
| Iron | Iron damp on a medium heat. |
| Store | Fold or hang. Cotton creases less than linen. |
