Description
Fisherman, a linen table throw with coastal stripes
Fisherman consists of 100 per cent linen, washed, in a heavy quality of 380 grams per square metre. The plain weave gives the cloth body, so it lies flat and still falls softly over the edge. Linen also absorbs a spill and dries again quickly, which suits a table in daily use. The washing has already taken away the first stiffness. Over time the fabric grows suppler, while the fringed ends keep their slightly undone look. Since the stripes sit near the ends, plates and bowls find an open field in the middle. Napkins in sets of six carry the theme to each place. Fisherman belongs to the Libeco tablecloths collection, beside its sister throws.

Care
Coloured linen tolerates 60 degrees, white linen up to 95, yet a cooler cycle lets Fisherman last longer. Leave out detergents with optical brighteners, because they bleach the leather brown and mustard. Give the drum some room, so the cloth can move freely. Then spin gently and briefly, since residual moisture keeps creases at bay. If you want a crisp table, iron it hot while it is still slightly damp. Avoid the tumble dryer, however convenient it seems, as overdrying can shrink linen.
