Yara half-linen bed linen from Leitner Leinen

Description

“Yara half-linen bed linen from Leitner Leinen”

Yara – a name of Persian origin that means “courage” and “strength”, but is also reminiscent of the millennia-old ornamentation that conquered the world from Persia. This half-linen design bears the boteh motif, the drop-shaped figure that became known in the West as paisley. Here, however, the boteh appears in a new interpretation: the individual motifs are offset to create a fascinating state of suspension above the ground. The delicately shaded background emphasizes each figure and makes them appear almost three-dimensional, as if they were floating above the surface of the fabric. This design combines oriental tradition with contemporary clarity – it is neither historicizing nor folkloristic, but of remarkable timeless elegance. In the bedroom, Yara has a calming, almost meditative presence. The ten shades – from pure white to warm rust red and cool anthracite – allow for a variety of interpretations: restrained in monochrome arrangements or lively in colorful combinations.

The advantages of half-linen

Half-linen is the result of textile intelligence: two fibers that combine their respective strengths to create a superior fabric. The warp of pure cotton provides elasticity and softness, while the weft of pure linen stands for strength and durability. This construction creates bed linen with remarkable properties: On warm days, the linen content has a cooling effect; on cool nights, the cotton retains warmth. The fabric regulates moisture naturally – it absorbs it generously and transports it away quickly without feeling damp. The antibacterial properties of linen fibers remain largely effective in half-linen, while cotton significantly reduces the characteristic linen creasing and simplifies care. The better dyeability of cotton enables the subtle shading of the Yara design, which gives each boteh motif its depth. More attractively priced than pure linen and more durable than pure cotton, half linen offers exceptional value for money.

Manufacturing tradition since 1853

There are crafts that will last for generations due to their timeless significance. The linen weaving mill Leitner has been one of these enduring manufactories since 1853. In Ulrichsberg in Upper Austria, nestled in the rolling hills of the Mühlviertel, fabrics of exceptional quality have been woven for five generations. What began as a regional weaving mill has developed into an internationally recognized manufactory whose collections are presented at the most important textile trade fairs. But despite its worldwide recognition, Leitner has retained its manufactory character: production remains manageable, contact with customers is personal and the response to special requests is flexible. Custom-made products for unusual bed sizes are just as much a part of the company’s philosophy as expert advice. Each piece leaves the weaving mill with the claim to accompany generations.

Care of your half-linen bed linen

Half-linen bed linen rewards uncomplicated care with increasing softness. Colored linen can be washed at up to 60°, white at up to 95°. For normal use, 40-60° is perfectly adequate. Avoid detergents with optical brighteners, which would take away the linen’s natural depth of color. A certain amount of creasing is part of natural fibers and underlines their authenticity – with half-linen, however, it is much more moderate than with pure linen. For a smoother result, we recommend a drum that is not too full (maximum two thirds) and a maximum spin speed of 1000 revolutions. Half-linen is best ironed at a medium to high temperature as long as there is still residual moisture. Do not use a tumble dryer – gentle air drying preserves the fiber quality for decades.
