Description
Salem, striped twill in pure linen
Salem weighs 190 grams per square metre, a heavy quality in washed linen. Its twill binding runs diagonally, so the surface shimmers faintly and feels smooth and cool against the skin. Linen moderates temperature too, airy in summer and comforting once the evenings turn cold. The long flax fibre absorbs moisture readily and repels dirt, which keeps the bed fresh for longer. Libeco treats the cloth mechanically only. Thus it stays kind to the skin, creases less and grows softer with each wash. The leather brown, white and blue stripes appear in the Libeco bed linen collection, ready to combine with plain shades.

Care
Because Salem is coloured linen, keep its wash at 60 degrees or below, although white linen could go to 95. Cooler water, in fact, helps any linen last. Detergents with optical brighteners would drain the leather brown, so choose one without. Never cram the machine. Set a gentle spin of short duration, then the remaining moisture keeps creases mild. If you iron, do so on the hot setting with the fabric still a little damp. Over-drying can shrink linen, therefore hang Salem up rather than using the dryer.
