Description
Cygnus Strong, heavy white linen
Choosing between the fine and the strong linen of Geniksa comes down to character. The fine line feels softer and lighter on the skin, while Cygnus proves more durable and more pronounced in the hand. Even so, both share the virtues of flax. Long, smooth fibres absorb moisture and shed dirt, which keeps the bedding fresh between washes. Linen balances temperature, which keeps the heavy cloth comfortable in summer and warming in winter. The mechanical finish makes it supple and helps it crease less, and the dense weave grows softer and smoother with every wash. Cygnus Strong takes its place in the Geniksa bed linen collection as the heaviest design.

Care
White linen of this weight accepts washes at up to 95 degrees, a real advantage for allergy sufferers and households with high standards of hygiene. A lower temperature, however, will preserve the fibre for longer. Avoid optical brighteners, since linen does not tolerate them well. Fill the machine only partly and spin briefly at a gentle speed, so enough residual moisture remains to limit creasing. When you iron, choose the linen setting at full heat while some dampness lingers in the cloth.
