Subtle matter
It is believed that the best linen - silk. This is not entirely true. No doubt, silk looks luxurious, but it is slippery and cold, so not everyone likes to sleep on it. Most often, expensive kits are made of satin. It also has a noble shine, pleasant to the touch and easily smoothed after washing. Linen is also sewn from batiste, calico, calico, flannel and percale. The price of the fabric depends not only on the dressing, but also on the quality of the cotton: Egyptian long-fiber is considered the best, raw materials from Turkey, India and Pakistan are quoted below. Another common “bed” material is flax; sometimes all the same cotton is added to it (so that it is less creased). One of the latest innovations is underwear made from lyocell (eucalyptus cellulose). It is soft, velvety and does not require ironing.

Parsing composition
Objective quality will help determine the quality of the fabric.the criterion is the density of the weave (number of threads per sq. cm). The higher this figure, the stronger the linen. The lowest density (20-30 filaments per sq. Cm) is in batiste; the linen from it turns out beautiful, but its service life is small; it is better to use it only on holidays. Low density (35-40) - in cheap cotton and flax. The average (50-65) and even higher than the average (65-80) - in cotton and flax expensive manufacture, as well as in synthetics. Percals, Chinese silk, and satin have a high density (85–120). The highest rate (130-280) - in gloss satin and Japanese silk.
Hygienic question
Needless to say, a good fabric should not shed, and allthe same ... Before you send pillow cases and duvet covers in the wash, they are best turned inside out; It is advisable to use detergent soft, with a minimum of bleaching additives. These precautions will help preserve the brightness of colors. Do not overdry clothes - smooth slightly damp fabric is much easier. If the set is decorated with embroidery or a cuticle, then it should be ironed not only from the face, but also from the inside. So that after a close acquaintance with a hot iron, the fabric does not lose breathability, you should put a terry towel under it. Silk linen requires special handling: it can not be machine washed and wrung out.
