"The flax was in full bloom; it had pretty little blue flowers as delicate as the wings of a moth, or even more so. The sun shone, and the showers watered it; and this was just as good for the flax as it is for little children to be washed and then kissed by their mother. They look much prettier for it, and so did the flax."

Why Pure Linen?

~Due to its unique, almost magical properties, linen, the fabric woven from the flax plant, is the ideal choice of fabric for babies' sensitive skin.

Baby's First Science Lesson

Linen:

~Is grown naturally and safely without chemicals or pesticides.

~Is resisitant to bacteria, fungus, noise, dustmites, and even radiation.

~Never causes allergic reactions, and can actually help cure eczema, fevers, and allergic disorders.

~Is thermo-regulating, meaning that baby's bed will stay cool in the summer and warm in the winter.

~Never retains static electricity.

~Absorbs as much as 20% of its weight in moisture before ever feeling wet, so it always feels fresh and cool.

~Sheets actually repel dirt.

~Is twice as durable as cotton, three times as durable as wool, and has been known to withstand literally centuries of use, making it an ideal heirloom.

Baby's First History Lesson

~Linen is the oldest of all fabrics known to man, and is still used widely today.

~When the tomb of Pharoah Ramesses II, who died in 1213 BC, was discovered in 1881, the linen wrappings were in a state of perfect preservation after more than 3000 years.

~When the tomb of King Tut was opened, linen curtains were found intact!

How to Care for Linen

~Machine wash on warm gentle cycle. Do not bleach. Hang to dry or dry on low heat. Remove promptly and fold.

Washing Tips

~Linen loves to be washed and ironed. The more linen is washed, the softer it becomes.

~Use pure soap or gentle detergents.

~Use plenty of water - Linen is very absorbent.

~Do not overload your washing machine so the linen can move freely.

~Whether washing by hand or machine, linen items have to be thoroughly rinsed in plenty of water to remove all soap, detergent, and residual soil.
