Linen Craft

We love natural fabrics. We love them for their comfort, functionality, durability and sustainability. But which natural fabric is best? In the debate over linen vs cotton we are firmly on the side of linen, and for good reason. For a good night’s sleep you need to feel comfortable. Whilst cotton is preferable to synthetic fibres, linen bedlinen still wins hands down in the comfort department. Not only is it soft, it also has temperature-regulating qualities that will keep you cool even on the warmest nights, and cosy when it’s cold outside. And thanks to its natural ability to wick moisture away from your body, you won’t wake up feeling sweaty either. Just blissfully well rested and ready for your day.

Packing for a trip can be a daunting prospect, particularly if you tend to leave it to the last minute and end up packing way too much stuff that you never actually use. This summer we’ve created a list of 7 travel essentials so that wherever we go, for however long, we’ve got the basics covered. Of course, if you are travelling somewhere with children or to a place with extreme weather or landscapes you’ll need more than this. But for the average weekend city break, beach vacation or country retreat these 7 items will be the backbone of your packing. Simply add a few changes of clothes, a couple of pairs of comfy shoes and some currency, and away you go.
