Although wool is the star fabric in the autumn and winter months, when the heat arrives the spotlight falls unquestionably on linen. This natural fiber of plant origin is perfect for days when the heat is pressing, thanks to the fact that it is fresh, light, comfortable and allows the skin to breathe. In addition, it is very elegant and in keeping with that relaxed essence of the summer season.
Whether in dresses, skirts, shirts or pants, linen is the perfect uniform for summer. Of course, it also has a place in household items such as tablecloths, curtains or bedding. Now, although the resistance stands out among the qualities of this fabric, we must be very careful when washing and ironing it if we do not want it to spoil, shrink or lose brightness and vividness in the colors.
In this regard, the biggest disadvantage of linen is undoubtedly its ease to wrinkle and the difficulty in getting rid of said wrinkles. But with a little patience and following a few tricks, ironing linen will be a piece of cake.
