Plain half-linen bed linen from Leitner Leinen NR. 174

Description

“Uni half-linen bed linen from Leitner Leinen (item 174)”

Uni – the name says it all: no patterns, no ornaments, just the pure beauty of the fabric itself. But what appears simple at first glance reveals remarkable depth on closer inspection: the slightly coarser structure of this half-linen creates a rustic, elegant surface with a finely nuanced texture. The fabric has a tactile presence that invites you to touch it – it feels authentic, like real material, like craftsmanship. This characterful plain quality combines rural robustness with urban sophistication. The visible weave emphasizes the naturalness of the half linen and makes the combination of linen and cotton tangible. This plain fabric reveals its calming power in the bedroom: it brings tranquillity into the room without becoming boring, blends in with any style of furnishing and can be combined effortlessly. The fourteen shades form an exceptionally versatile palette – from pure white to delicate pastel nuances such as sakura and marigold to bold tones such as lago and anthracite. This variety of colors enables countless combinations and makes the plain a versatile companion for all seasons.

The advantages of half-linen

Half-linen combines the properties of two natural fibers to create a harmonious fabric. The pure cotton warp provides elasticity and softness, while the pure linen weft guarantees robustness and durability. This sophisticated construction creates bed linen with exceptional climatic properties: The linen content has a cooling and refreshing effect on warm days, while the cotton retains pleasant warmth on cool nights. The fabric regulates moisture in a natural way – it absorbs it generously and wicks it away quickly without feeling clammy. The antibacterial properties of linen fibers are largely retained in the half-linen, while the cotton significantly reduces the characteristic linen creasing and simplifies care. A plain weave with a coarser structure brings out the natural texture of the fibers in a particularly authentic way – the texture speaks of craftsmanship and tradition. Much more attractive in price than pure linen, half-linen clearly outperforms pure cotton bed linen in terms of durability and longevity.

Manufacturing tradition since 1853

The art of linen weaving has been cultivated in Ulrichsberg since 1853. What began as a local manufactory in the Upper Austrian Mühlviertel region has developed over five generations into an internationally recognized weaving mill. The Leitner family Leitner family family has never lost touch with traditional craftsmanship: Even today, people are still placed above machines, quality above quantity. Leitner Leinen is known for its unusual and elaborate patterns, but its plain fabrics also reflect the entire art of weaving. Leitner presents its collections at the most important textile trade fairs worldwide – but the manufactory remains manageable and personal. To this day, Leitner is characterized by its flexibility in responding to individual wishes, producing special sizes and providing expert advice. Each piece is manufactured with the aim of lasting not just one season, but generations. This attitude is reflected in the choice of materials, the workmanship and the dedication with which each fabric leaves the weaving mill.

Care of your half-linen bed linen

Half-linen bed linen is easy to care for and becomes smoother with every wash. Colored linen can be washed at up to 60°, white at up to 95°. For normal use, 40-60° is sufficient. Avoid detergents with optical brighteners, which take away the linen’s natural depth of color. A certain amount of creasing is part of natural fibers and underlines their authenticity – with half-linen, however, it is much more moderate than with pure linen. For a smoother result, we recommend a drum that is not too full (maximum two thirds) and a maximum spin speed of 1000 revolutions. Half-linen is best ironed at a medium to high temperature as long as there is still residual moisture. Do not use a tumble dryer – gentle air drying preserves the fiber quality for decades.
