Description
Mink, a warm brown carpet of pure linen
Mink is linen through and through: 100 per cent washed flax at 1000 g/m², worked as plain weave with a yarn count of Nm 58. Unlike wool, linen stays antistatic, so dust finds little to cling to, and the fibre repels dirt of its own accord. Consequently the carpet asks for less care than one might expect. For allergy sufferers linen offers a further benefit, because it binds no dust and gives mites no home. The fibre also balances temperature and moisture at floor level. Mink takes its place within the Libeco rugs collection beside Taupe and Wheat.

Care
A rug underlay is the first kindness you can do Mink, as it keeps the carpet flat and secure. Between washes, the antistatic fibre keeps dust at bay by itself. When a wash cannot be avoided, the limit for coloured linen is 60 degrees, though lower temperatures preserve it better. Steer clear of optical brighteners, because they would draw the warmth out of the brown. Then let the linen dry naturally rather than in a tumble dryer, where it could shrink.
