Description
Arctica, a houndstooth woven into linen
Because the houndstooth lives in the structure of the cloth, washing cannot wear it away. It stays visible for as long as the tablecloth lasts. Arctica weighs 240 g/m², which gives it a stable hold on the table and an elegant fall at the edges. Its yarn reaches a fineness of Nm 26. The dense flax fibre also repels dirt, so the everyday traces of a meal let go more easily in the wash. Finishing remains purely mechanical, and the unbleached flax yarn keeps its natural tone. With a matching runner, placemats and napkins, Arctica dresses a table for two as calmly as a long one for twenty. You will find it, together with its sibling designs, in the Geniksa tablecloths collection.

Care
Arctica keeps its natural tone well at up to 60 degrees; only white linen goes as high as 95. A cooler cycle, as with any material, helps the cloth last longer. Steer clear of detergents containing optical brighteners, since they strip natural colour and leave the fabric pale. The houndstooth itself needs no special attention. Load the machine loosely, spin with a gentle hand and not for long, and take the tablecloth out with some moisture still in it. Ironing works best hot, on the linen setting, while the fabric is a little damp.
