Scarf Care Guide

Linen & Eri-Silk Scarves

Our scarves made from 70% linen and 30% Eri-silk are crafted from natural raw materials, both of which have high sustainability value—not only due to their origins but also because of the way they are harvested and processed. Linen is a plant fiber, while Eri-silk is an animal fiber, making them unique in their composition and properties. You can read more about the sustainable aspects in our article here.

Although linen and silk typically require different care, we have created a combined guide that covers both fibers, allowing you to easily care for your scarf and ensure it maintains its beautiful structure and softness for many years.

Washing & Cleaning

To preserve the structure and color of your scarf, wash it gently in cold or lukewarm water with a pH-neutral soap. Always wash the scarf separately from other textiles to avoid damaging the delicate fibers. After washing, lay the scarf flat on a towel to dry or hang it gently in fresh air. Linen fibers tend to wrinkle, but a quick press with low heat can smooth it out—be mindful of the temperature, as silk fibers are more delicate.

Pilling & Structure

The characteristic, slightly uneven texture of your scarf comes from the unique combination of machine-spun linen and handspun Eri-silk, which leaves small, natural bumps in the fabric. These bumps are part of the scarf’s charm and authenticity. Avoid pulling on them; if removal is needed, carefully snip them off with a small pair of scissors.

Natural Softening

Your scarf will become softer over time with use, as your body heat helps to relax the fibers. This natural softening process makes the scarf more comfortable with each wear and improves its texture and feel against the skin.

Extra Care Tips for Linen and Eri-Silk

• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Both linen and Eri-silk react poorly to chemicals like bleach, cleaning agents, and perfume. Keep the scarf away from these substances to protect the fibers.
• Storage: Store the scarf in a dry, dark place, preferably in a cloth bag that allows the fibers to breathe. Avoid plastic bags, as they can trap moisture and damage the fabric.
• Ironing: If ironing is necessary, use low heat, as silk can be damaged by high temperatures. Follow the care instructions on your iron for silk, and consider placing a cloth between the iron and the scarf for extra protection.
