Swimmers Stripe, linen twill in brown
Swimmers Stripe has a weight of 200 grams per square metre, robust pure linen in twill. The diagonal binding gives the surface a discreet sheen. In winter linen keeps you warm, while in summer it cools, and throughout the year it regulates moisture for a dry night. Libeco finishes the washed cloth purely mechanically, therefore it feels soft and creases less, yet stays true to its nature. Over time it grows suppler still. The near-plain effect also makes it easy to pair with Heritage or Madison. You will find it in the Libeco bed linen collection, among the quieter stripes.

Care
Swimmers Stripe washes at up to 60 degrees, while white linen would tolerate 95. Nonetheless, a cooler programme gives the brown tones a longer life. Optical brighteners have to stay out, since they bleach natural colours and make the fabric fade. Give the cloth space by loading the machine lightly. Later, a gentle and short spin leaves the residual moisture that keeps creases at bay. Press it hot, if you like, while still damp. Do without the tumble dryer, because too much drying can shrink linen.
