Q. How do I care for my handmade linen quilt?
A. To help maintain the quilt's softness, shape and overall appearance, machine wash it on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Use cold or lukewarm water and avoid hot water. After washing, air dry the quilt or tumble dry it on low heat. Avoid high heat, as it may affect the fabric and batting.
Q. What is a dip-dyed gradient?
A. Dip-dyeing is a textile technique in which the fabric is immersed in dye to create a gradual variation in color. On this quilt, the technique creates a smooth transition from rich indigo to soft ivory.
Q. Does the gradient make each linen quilt unique?
A. Yes, because the quilt is individually dyed, the placement and intensity of the color transition may have slight variations from one piece to another. These natural variations are part of the character of a handcrafted textile.
Q. Can I pair this all season quilt with other bedding?
A. Yes, the indigo and ivory color combination pairs well with white, ivory, beige, natural linen, soft grey, and other blue tones. Solid-colored sheets and pillows can help highlight the quilt's gradient pattern.
