Understanding the materials we use and how to properly care for your textiles ensures they remain beautiful and functional for years. This guide covers our most common materials and their care requirements.
Our organic cotton is grown without harmful pesticides and chemicals, making it gentle on skin and the environment. This material is breathable, durable, and becomes softer with each wash. Perfect for bedding and everyday textiles.
Linen is made from the flax plant and offers natural temperature-regulating properties. It's highly absorbent, gets softer over time, and is one of the most sustainable textile fibers. Ideal for warmer climates and bedding.
Our wool blends combine the natural warmth and moisture-wicking properties of wool with the softness of cotton. These blends are excellent for throws and seasonal bedding, providing comfort in cooler months.
Machine wash organic cotton items in cold or warm water using a gentle cycle. Use mild, eco-friendly detergent without bleach or fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Cotton may shrink slightly on the first wash, which is normal. Iron on medium heat if needed.
Linen can be machine washed in cool to warm water on a gentle cycle. Use mild detergent and avoid overloading the washing machine to prevent excessive wrinkling. Air drying is recommended to maintain linen's natural texture, though low-heat tumble drying is acceptable. Linen wrinkles naturally, but ironing while slightly damp produces the smoothest results.
Wool blends require gentle care to maintain their softness and shape. Hand wash in cool water with wool-specific detergent, or use a machine's delicate cycle with cold water. Never wring or twist wool items. Lay flat to dry away from direct heat or sunlight. Avoid tumble drying unless specifically labeled as safe.
Products combining multiple materials, such as cotton-linen blends, should be cared for according to the most delicate fabric present. When in doubt, choose gentler washing methods. Always check care labels before washing mixed-material textiles.
Thread count refers to the number of horizontal and vertical threads per square inch of fabric. Higher thread counts generally indicate softer, more luxurious fabric, but very high counts may reduce breathability. Our bedding ranges from 200-400 thread count, optimized for both comfort and airflow. Quality of thread and weave technique matter as much as thread count itself.
Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and wool offer superior breathability and temperature regulation compared to synthetic alternatives. They're also biodegradable and more environmentally friendly. Natural fibers develop character over time, becoming softer with proper care. Synthetic fibers may retain odors and static electricity more readily.
Our textiles use natural and low-impact dyes designed to maintain color integrity through multiple washes. To minimize fading, wash items inside out, use cold water, and line dry away from direct sunlight when possible. Some natural color variation may occur with organic dyes, which adds to the unique character of each piece.
Natural fibers like linen and cotton naturally wrinkle. To minimize wrinkles, remove items from the dryer promptly and fold or hang immediately. Iron while slightly damp for best results. Some wrinkles are inherent to the material's character and contribute to its authentic appearance.
Pre-shrunk organic cotton minimizes shrinkage, but some natural contraction may occur on the first wash. Wash in cool or warm water rather than hot to reduce shrinkage. Always follow care label instructions. If significant shrinkage occurs, contact our customer service team.
Occasional pilling is normal with natural fibers, especially on high-friction areas like pillowcases. Use a fabric shaver or pumice stone to remove pills gently. Rotate items regularly to distribute wear evenly. High-quality natural fibers typically pill less than lower-grade alternatives.
