Description
Scotia, a muted tartan in pure linen
Scotia uses pure linen of 175 g/m², its yarn at Nm 26, the same cloth as the plain Classic designs. What sets it apart is the tartan, which grows from yarns of different shades as warp and weft cross. The result reads warmer and more structured than a single colour. Moreover, flax fibres absorb moisture readily and let it go again, so the bed stays dry through the night. Since Geniksa washes the linen and finishes it mechanically, the hand feels supple and creases less. A classic hem frames the checks without any buttons. Scotia sits among the plain and striped designs of the Geniksa bed linen collection.

Care
Coloured linen such as Scotia takes a wash at up to 60 degrees, yet it lasts longer at cooler settings. Detergents containing optical brighteners have no place here, since they would bleach the grey and leave the tartan faded. Load the machine with a light hand, leaving space for the checks to tumble. Keep the spin short and soft; a little residual moisture limits creasing. For a crisp finish, press the tartan with a hot iron on its linen position before the cloth has quite dried. Otherwise, simply let the tartan settle on the bed as it is.
