Linen weaving has a centuries-old tradition in the Mühlviertel, and over the course of time the region has specialized in the processing of very fine linen yarns. The traditional Vieböck manufactory in Helfenberg produces this fine linen bed linen from a twill weave fabric with a narrow herringbone pattern. With 26 warp threads and 20 weft threads per centimeter, it is particularly dense, fine and yet exceptionally airy and light. The smooth fabric has a pleasantly soft feel and does not fluff. The extra-fine long flax yarns (with a yarn count of Nm 26) also enable a fabric weight of 196 g/sqm, which is extremely low for linen fabric. In addition, the high-quality yarns ensure that the fabric has a "lustre" and a typical linen shimmer.

Generally, linen bedding may be spun after washing and put in the dryer, but it can then shrink even more, especially it is more difficult to smooth and also does not get back the perfect smooth surface afterwards. But for those who like it more casual, it is the right thing to do. So if you want to put the laundry in the dryer, it has proven useful to put three to five tennis balls in the drum with it. This makes the bed linen softer and smoother - but it won't be as smooth as before, not even by ironing or mangling.
More gentle (and also energy-saving) is drying on the clothesline. Spin the covers after washing only briefly on, if you iron the best still slightly damp laundry after drying, it gets back the smooth surface.
