What should you pay special attention to whenchoosing bed linen? First, the density of the fabric. This determines how many washes your linen will withstand. The denser - the more. New linen should not smell of dyes or chemicals. Otherwise, it will fade a lot and lose its color. The material itself should be pleasant to the touch, because you will sleep on it. The density of the weave, namely the number of threads per square centimeter, should be indicated on the product packaging. This is quite important information, it shows a fairly high quality of linen. The classification looks like this: low density twenty to thirty threads, below average thirty to forty, average fifty to sixty, above average sixty to eighty, high eighty to one hundred twenty and very high more than one hundred twenty. The higher the density, the longer it will serve you. You can also determine the material from the density. Low density is cambric; below average and average materials such as linen and cotton; above average - this is Turkish silk or artificial fabrics; high - percale or Chinese silk, as well as satin and artificial fabrics; and very high - glossy satin or Japanese silk. If you compare
with satin linen and calico linen, then itcan be in the middle. Poplin linen is quite dense in structure, but it is softer than calico. Flax is considered the most environmentally friendly and more practical material. It has a number of properties: it warms in the cold season and gives coolness in the heat. However, it wrinkles easily and is quite difficult to iron. Very durable and quite practical linen made of satin or otherwise - Egyptian cotton. Dense and shiny fabric, pleasant to the touch. However, the disadvantage of real satin is its high price compared to other fabrics. You can also recommend bed linen made of calico. It is economically practical and quite beautiful. It is very popular due to its wear resistance. When examining the material, you should turn the linen inside out and look at the quality of the seams. Good linen is stitched with a special seam, but if there is only one seam and the edges are not matched, this indicates poor quality linen. And finally, I would like to add that every good housewife knows how to take care of bed linen. The health of the whole family depends on its cleanliness. However, you can save a little time and effort if you choose the right linen. We recommend reading:
