Shetland Grey linen-wool mix from Libeco

Shetland Grey linen and wool mix from Libeco is a tribute to the marriage of linen and wool… The designer says: “The inspiration for this collection comes from wool and the names refer to specific breeds of sheep. What started with a small piece of wool quickly developed into a big story in which linen and wool play the leading role, supported by various rich textures and soft colors. This collection is a continuation of the successful Moroccan Stripe story.

Shetland is made from a linen-wool blend and is available in three delicate colors. The flax and wool fibers are brought together before spinning, so the yarn is evenly blended. The result is a unique, warm and soft bedspread. You won’t have to be cold all winter long!”
The bedspread has a 3 cm wide hem on the top and bottom. The selvedge has been used as a finish on the sides. All covers have zippers. Both the blankets and the covers are decorated with a wool bow.

European organic linen

Linen bed linen allows the skin to breathe better. When it comes to our skin, linen is the perfect fabric. Due to its long, smooth fibers, linen absorbs a lot of moisture and repels dirt. Linen is an intelligent fabric because linen balances out temperatures. Linen ensures a pleasant coolness in summer and creates cozy warmth in winter. The long linen fibers ensure that linen bed linen stays fresh for much longer. The linen fabric has been treated purely mechanically and is therefore very soft and skin-friendly. Linen treated in this way creases less and retains the naturalness and all the advantages of linen. Libeco is convinced of organic linen and unconditional sustainability in all stages of production, so the creation of certified linen bed linen according to the GOTS standard in the Heritage collection was a logical next step.

The Weaving Mill

In 2006, Libeco received a knighthood from the Belgian royal family: “Belgian Royal Warrant Holder” is the impressive recognition of the quality of this linen. The “Belgian Linen” quality seal is the guarantee of a quality product in accordance with all the rules of sustainable management. All Libeco fabrics bear the coveted “Masters of Linen” label. This guarantees that the fabrics have been tested to meet the extremely high requirements of this master class and that they are manufactured exclusively in Europe. “Eco Line” and “Oeko-Tex” provide the assurance that Libeco fabrics are free from harmful substances and that they have not been treated, bleached or dyed with chemicals.

We recommend the fine Heritage linen sheets and fitted sheets from Libeco.

Care Instructions

Colored linen can be washed up to 60°, white up to 95°. As with all materials, linen will last longer if washed at a lower temperature. What linen does not tolerate are detergents with optical brighteners, they bleach out the natural colors and the fabric becomes light Wrinkling: Linen needs sufficient residual moisture so that it does not wrinkle so much. Do not overload the machine so that the fabric can move, do not spin linen too hard or for too long. If you want to iron linen, iron the items on the hot linen setting of your iron when they are still a little damp. Even if it is convenient: avoid drying linen in the dryer. Overdrying can cause it to shrink
