I have washed a whole bunch of white linen and now I have to iron a whole bunch of white linen. I got some of it to make a nice linen blouse, some will go towards a nice scarf for my mom and some is to make an 18th century cap, but at this stage it's just a whole swath of easily stained crinkliness

#Linen. Comfortable, lovely to work with. Crisp, smooth, more ecological than cotton, extremely durable, has a slight shimmer and sheen to it. Beautiful.

Unironed linen: Hella crinkly. Crinkletown! Some other superlative of crinkly. Wrinkliest substance known to man

@sinituulia I've heard that freezing linen makes it easier to iron.
