Troubleshooting

Excessive wrinkling

Iron while the garment is slightly damp on a warm setting. Consider a fabric steamer for easier touch-ups. Store by folding neatly or hanging.

Shrinkage after washing

Ensure you are using cold water and the gentle cycle. Avoid high heat in the dryer; opt for hang drying. Check the care label for specific instructions.

Pilling or fraying

These are natural characteristics of linen over time. Gentle washing and avoiding harsh friction can help minimize wear. Trim any loose threads carefully.
