HOT ! Vintage Linen Pillowcase Single - Moon

Description

Vintage Linen pillowcases are finished with a minimal 1/4\" hem. Darker colors feature a contrasting white top stitch detail.

Pillowcase vs. Sham

Pillowcases and Shams are both used to protect pillow inserts, but there are a wide variety of constructions. Typically, pillowcases loosely encase the pillow and are open on the side, whereas shams are more fitted and employ some method of closure to keep the pillow in place.

We recommend using a Queen pillowcase for a Standard pillow insert as we do not offer a Standard pillowcase. The pillowcase will hang a bit longer over the edge of the insert. It can be tucked in to create an envelope closure or taken to a seamstress for a simple alteration.

• 100% linen


• Garment-washed and dyed using non-toxic dyes


• Darker colors feature a contrasting white topstitch

Fabric

Vintage Linen has been our most popular fabric for over a decade. This collection pays homage to everything we love about linen that has been passed down from generation to generation.

Derived from the flax plant, linen\'s durability and tendency to grow softer with time make it ideal for bedding that can last for years. Linen is naturally moisture absorbent and insulating. It keeps you cool when you are hot, and warms when you are cold. Linen is also hypoallergenic and antimicrobial.

Our Vintage Linen uses a 28 single-metric yarn in both the warp and the weft. The weave is extremely balanced, which produces a linen fabric that is both soft and sturdy.The magic of our Vintage Linen is in the special washing process we use in our dye house. This wash opens and penetrates the depths of the fibers, softening each one and creating a truly special sleep.

It is difficult to understand the experience of a night\'s sleep in linen without trying. We hope you will. You will awake in the morning feeling refreshed and rejuvenated; linen breathes beautifully.

Care Details

Wash

Wash should be separated into light & dark colors.We recommend a lukewarm wash cycle with a gentle detergent & a cool rinse.

Do not use bleach on linen. Avoid using products that contain whitening agents such as chlorine bleach, alpha hydroxy acids and benzoyl peroxide on garment-dyed items. The reactive dyes used for garment-dyeing are not resistant to these whitening agents.

The largest challenge with garment-dyeing is the truth that it is an art, and not a science. We must allow for a shade variation of +/- 10% from dye-lot to dye-lot.

Drying

Tumble dry with low heat.Remove bed linens promptly from the machine to reduce wrinkling.For best results, line dry.

Ironing

We at MATTEO tend to prefer a lived-in look, as such, you Don\'t find us ironing our sheets too frequently. If you prefer a crisp looking bed, our linen should be pressed while slightly damp using the Linen or High setting.
