Linen Craft

Summer seemed to end rather suddenly in our part of the world, and there is a distinct chill in the air. It is time to put away our summer clothes and beach towels, and start digging out the woollies and snug blankets. Fall can still have warm sunny days though, which is why we are all about transition garments. These are lightweight yet heat-retaining, non-bulky yet still able to keep out the cold. Our two wardrobe staples for Fall are linen jackets and wool scarves.

From Instagram influencers to glossy magazines, linen bedding is widely considered to be luxurious. Have you ever wondered why many celebrities, 5-star hotels and countless everyday people who want top quality home textiles choose linen bed sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers? It can’t simply be because this ancient fabric has been used and loved in homes for generations. In fact, the appeal of linen is both practical and aesthetic, making it an essential fabric for the bedroom where the bed is often the most prominent item of furniture, and where we need to get the best sleep possible. In this post we’re going to examine just what it is that makes linen such a popular choice for bedlinen.
