Description
Tack Stripe, an honest twill
Tack Stripe uses pure washed linen of 190 grams per square metre, woven tightly in twill. The diagonal binding lends the surface a silky gleam, and against the skin it feels cool. Moreover, flax balances warmth and moisture through the night, because its long fibres absorb and release humidity with ease. Libeco relies on purely mechanical finishing. The cloth therefore stays gentle, creases less and keeps its natural vigour. With every wash the stripe rhythm becomes livelier. It fits naturally among the Libeco bed linen designs, especially the calmer plain colours.

Care
Tack Stripe accepts 60 degrees in the wash, while undyed white linen would bear 95. All the same, a cooler cycle preserves the stripes for longer. Skip any detergent with optical brighteners; they bleach natural colour and make the cloth look tired. The drum should never be packed tight. Spin with restraint, too, because linen that keeps some moisture creases less. A hot iron on slightly damp fabric gives the smoothest result. Rather than tumble drying, which may shrink linen, let Tack Stripe dry in the open air.
