Pillowcase linen
General Information
Linen Covers with Fine Transversal Stripes.
At first glance, seen from a distance, this linen bedding might look as if it is made from a mottled fabric. On closer inspection, you find subtle stripes transversely running over the cover. Blue lines set a fresh, colourful accent on a white background in the light (white-blue) variant. The covers in red-white or blue-white, on the other hand, feature white stripes on a coloured background. Hoffmann, the Lusatian weaving mill, only uses linen from European long-fibre flax for these covers. The spun yarn (Nm 26) is quite fine, resulting in an equally fine and light fabric with a soft, slightly granular feel.
Lusatian linen
Upper Lusatia is one of the European textile regions with a long tradition of linen weaving. The Leinenweberei Hoffmann is one of the few companies to have survived there to this day, thanks to the wealth of experience it has accumulated and cultivated and its comparatively early specialization in jacquard weaving and embroidery. With nationalization in the 1970s, individuality and the production of pure linen declined noticeably. It was not until the company was reprivatized in 1994 that it was able to resume work on the old looms and thus continue the tradition of Oberlausitz linen. The company has been weaving and manufacturing at its headquarters in Neukirch in Lusatia since 1905.
Bed Linen. Made of Pure Linen.
Before cotton arrived in Europe, bed linen was usually made of linen, as the name suggests. There were good reasons for this. Linen is antistatic by nature and tends not to attract dust. Thanks to its smooth texture, it feels comfortable against the skin and is easy to wash. Linen is a good conductor of heat and absorbs moisture without actually giving off a damp feeling. Besides, it releases the moisture quickly afterwards, which is why it is perceived as pleasantly cooling. We recommend linen fabrics in particular for the summer.
