Oh - and if you're storing linen over the winter, either hang it or (if it's an unstructured garment) just wad it loosely. Do not try to fold it neatly or iron it before you put it away. The resulting creases will cause flex abrasion. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

Honey said: Not starch, sizing. When starch is applied in place of sizing, the garment can become overly stiff, crease easily and wrinkle before and during wear. Because sizing adds body to fabric, it makes garments easier to finish, reduces wrinkling during wear, and keeps pleats and creases sharp.
