Linen Care & Stitching Instructions

Our linen fabric is made from natural fibres. Proper pre-washing and care can help improve its softness, comfort and fit.

### Before Stitching

First, soak the fabric in clean water for some time.
Gently wash the fabric and allow it to dry completely.
Stitch the fabric only after it has been completely dried.
This process allows natural shrinkage to occur before stitching, helping reduce unwanted shrinkage after the garment is made.

### Washing & Care

For the first wash, preferably use cold or normal-temperature water.
Use a mild detergent.
Avoid using very hot water.
Do not rub or twist the fabric aggressively.
Avoid drying the fabric for long periods under strong direct sunlight.
Iron at a medium temperature when required.

### Important

Linen is a natural fabric, so a small amount of natural shrinkage and texture change may occur after the first wash. This is a natural characteristic of linen and is generally not considered a fabric defect.
