Traditionally, flax has played a key part in Lithuanian life, both in cultivation and at home where it is difficult to imagine any kind of important celebration without linen – be it marriage, baptism, funerals or other family celebrations. Lithuanian linen is renowned for its quality and is lighter than other linen fabrics.

• Washable at 40 degrees. Avoid detergents with bleach (i.e. chlorine, peroxide). If your washing machine allows you to select the water level, choose the highest one offered because linen is highly absorbent.
• Linen can be dried in a tumble dryer on a low temperature, hung, or left to dry flat on a white towel.
• If using a tumble dryer, take the linen out when it’s still damp and complete drying by hanging it or laying flat.
