Knitted linen is different. 

It has the same natural beauty as woven linen—but with more give, more softness, and a texture that feels personal from the first wear. Because of its structure, it asks for a little more attention. Treat it well, and it will reward you for years.

Washing

• Hand wash is always best. If using a machine, choose the delicate cycle and slip your garment inside a mesh laundry bag for extra protection
• Use cool water (max 30°C) and a gentle, natural detergent
•  Wash separately or with other delicates—keep it away from zips, buttons, or anything that might catch

Drying

• After washing, gently press out excess water—never wring or twist
• Reshape your garment by hand and lay it flat on a clean towel in the shade
• Never hang knitted linen while wet. The weight of the water will pull it out of shape

Storage

• Once completely dry, fold and store in a cool, dry place
• Hanging for long periods can stretch knitted pieces—folding helps them keep their form

Reshaping & Care

• Knitted linen may feel slightly tighter after washing. This is normal
• To restore its original shape and softness, use a warm steam iron. Gently tease the fabric back to size with your hands as you steam
• A little steam and patience is all it takes

On Pilling

• With wear, you may notice small pills forming on the surface. This is not a flaw—it's a sign that the fibres are soft and alive
• To keep your knit looking smooth, use a cashmere comb or a gentle de-pilling tool. Light strokes are enough

Important

• Do not tumble dry—heat will shrink and damage the fibres

• Always check the care label inside your CLSEN garment for specific instructions

Knitted linen softens with time.

Wear it. Rest it. Care for it gently.

It will move with you through every season.
