Things you need to know 1. Thread Count - Strangley enough, high thread count does not always equal higher quality. When using different techniques or applications on bed linen,
each finish needs a specific thread count. All our bed linen is of the highest quality whether it is embroidered, hand block printed or woven.
2. Material - Cotton is probably the best choice for bed linens it is breathable and great at keeping body temperature regulated, all of our bed linen is made using the highest quality pure cotton, which is a dream to sleep in.
3.
Housewife or Oxford? - An Oxford pillow case has a bordered edge, which looks elegant on a bed. A Housewife pillow case is without the edge and gives a simple classic look.
4. Care - We recommend washing your bed linen on a hot wash after every use avoids discolouration and keeps it looking and smelling lovely. The heat of the water kills any bacteria and helps your sheets looking great for longer.
5.
Easy Iron - To make ironing stress-free and we recommend you iron your sheets when they are still a little damp. Not only does this make it a lot easier but it can also be completed in half the time. If you can dry on a washing line, it is even better, smoothing out any wrinkles with your hands. The sunlight also gives them a mild bleach too and they may not need to be ironed.

Sleep Tight
I love to spritz my bedlinen with homemade lavender or vetiver spray before I get into bed. Add a couple of drops of lavender oil to a half full water spray bottle for an instant calming mist either whilst ironing or just before bed.
