Description
Maora, earth tones in pure linen
Libeco weaves Maora from 100 per cent washed linen, 190 grams per square metre, a heavy quality with a calm, dense surface. In a plain weave, warp and weft cross one over one, so the cloth stays smooth while it resists wear. With every wash it turns more supple. Linen also absorbs a great deal of moisture and releases it again, which keeps the skin comfortable on warm nights and cool ones alike. Libeco finishes the fabric purely mechanically, therefore it feels soft from the start and creases less. Over time the muted earth tones gain a dignified patina and settle into almost any interior. Maora belongs to the bed linen collection by Libeco.

Care
Thanks to its plain weave, Maora washes in the machine at up to 60 degrees and keeps its shape; white linen alone would take 95. A lower temperature, though, adds years to any linen. Detergents with optical brighteners do not suit it, because they bleach the earth tones out of the fibre. Load the machine generously rather than fully. Then choose a modest spin, so enough moisture stays in the cloth to soften creases. For a smooth finish, use a hot iron on the still damp fabric. Air drying suits Maora better than the dryer, which can shrink linen.
