Description
Geneva, white linen without ornament
Geneva weighs 190 grams per square metre and is pure washed linen. In the durable plain weave, every thread alternates over and under its neighbour, which gives the cloth strength against tearing and abrasion. Yet it stays pliant. Flax fibres are long and smooth; they take up moisture quickly, and the bed feels fresh night after night. Linen balances temperature as well, cool in summer and gently warm in winter. Since Libeco treats the fabric purely mechanically, Geneva feels soft and creases less while keeping its natural character. It forms the white foundation of the Libeco bed linen collection.

Care
White Geneva withstands up to 95 degrees, whereas coloured linen should stay at 60. Even classic white linen, though, ages more slowly at lower heat. Avoid optical brighteners in the detergent, because they attack the natural tone of the fibre. Leave space in the drum. Spin at a modest speed and only briefly, so that some moisture keeps the creases soft. Iron on the hottest linen setting while the cloth still feels a touch damp. The tumble dryer is best left aside, since too much drying can make linen shrink.
