Bomull Lin mean Cotton Linen.
This crisp blend of cotton and linen softens over time with washing. Timeless appeal in classic colors with a subtle sheen.
Linen comes from a 50-130 cm tall, very thin plant, that displays light blue, white, pink or purple flowers in July. Mixing the linen with cotton produces a very durable material, ideal for shaped garments.
Hand wash Bomull-Lin in 30° C warm water. Increasing the temperature will cause the material’s sheen to fade. Use a mild detergent free of optical bleach and avoid using too much powder.
