The washed linen throw is a versatile piece that has more than one trick up its sleeve: it can serve as a bedspread, a sofa throw or even a blanket... in addition to being an ecological and sustainable choice!
How is a washed linen throw designed?
Washed linen is a linen fabric made from linen threads and subjected to repeated washing at high temperatures. Drum drying and application of specific softeners guarantee optimal results.
This process is repeated several times to make the fiber more flexible, softer and lighter. Good to know: pure, unwashed linen is often rough and stiff, which is why it is not always recommended for household items.
However, thanks to this high temperature washing and softening process, linen becomes extremely soft, which makes it a component of choice for making textiles that are in direct contact with the skin: throws of course, but also bath sheets, pillowcases, duvet covers, etc.
What are the advantages of the washed linen throw?
Washed linen is a textile that is both antibacterial and hypoallergenic and offers great comfort and a great feeling of well-being. Its quick-drying and airy weave properties prevent the development of bacteria and mites, thus preventing skin irritation and allergic reactions. Plus, it can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in moisture, including sweat, keeping you dry during periods of intense heat.
Linen is also a temperature-regulating textile that provides cozy warmth in winter and pleasant freshness in summer.
Finally, its softness is exceptional and, contrary to certain preconceived ideas, the material here is neither rough nor unpleasant to the touch: the washed linen throw is carefully washed and softened many times to obtain an ever softer feel, hence its name “washed linen”.
Washed linen is above all a noble textile: linen. This natural material has been used for many purposes since ancient Egypt. In the past, linen was even the most common textile in Europe, until the 19th century! The linen throw is a timeless fabric that will never go out of style .
Last but not least: in addition to its utilitarian function, the washed linen throw brings an authentic, very bohemian chic style to interior decoration. It can bring a sofa with an outdated design up to date, without having to change it, and give a touch of charm to your bedroom as a bed cover. Linen is a unique material that never goes unnoticed. The washed linen throw is the ideal decorative element to add personality to your environment, with ease.

Washed linen throw and sensitive skin: the winning combination?
Washed linen is recognized for its many benefits for the skin, especially for people with particularly sensitive skin: as we have mentioned, this natural textile has important hypoallergenic properties. It is therefore particularly suitable for delicate skin which tends to react to synthetic products and other irritating substances.
Washed linen is very breathable, and it is also an excellent temperature regulator , which helps reduce feelings of heat and excessive sweating, often responsible for skin irritations and eczema. It easily absorbs moisture and dries quickly, thus preventing the development of bacteria and mites which can cause allergies and various infections.
Washed linen is easy to care for and does not require harsh chemicals for cleaning. It can be machine washed and ironed at high temperatures, which again helps eliminate dust mites and bacteria while maintaining its softness and shine.
The washed linen throw is an ideal choice for people with sensitive skin, thanks to its hypoallergenic properties, its breathability and its ease of maintenance. Generally speaking, choosing natural and soft textiles, like those offered by Bonsoirs, can make a big difference in improving your daily comfort and well-being.

The superior quality of this highly resistant material also allows it to be washed repeatedly without altering its texture or color. This is why washed linen is very popular for making durable and high-end products such as throws, sheets, blankets and premium tablecloths.
Its elegant appearance, ease of maintenance and low environmental impact make it a piece of choice for all those looking for an aesthetic, practical and eco-responsible solution for their linen and home accessories.
Washed linen blanket: how to maintain it?
To preserve the quality of washed linen, it is important to put it in the washing machine at a temperature not exceeding 30°C and limiting the spin to 800 rpm to avoid damaging the fiber.
To preserve its soft texture, you can briefly tumble dry the blanket at low temperature and finish drying in the open air, laid flat.
You can iron it if necessary, even a little damp, although the washed linen throw does not need it.
