The Corda table runner, also called longère, tête à tête or table runner, is made of natural fabric 70% cotton and 30% linen, created and made in our workshop located in the South-West, respecting traditional Basque weaving techniques. It dresses up your tables in a practical and decorative way: always in a wide range of striped colours. Our cotton canvases are easy to care for. Certified 100% Made in France. Labeled SUD Terre textile. For curtains, we recommend dry cleaning. To preserve the quality of the fibers, soak new fabrics for two hours in cold water without detergent. For curtains, we recommend dry cleaning. For the rest of your ARTIGA linens, home decor, table and kitchen items, we advise you to follow these instructions: During the first few washes, cotton or cotton/linen fabrics will shrink between 8 and 10% in length and between 3 and 5% in width, which is normal for this type of natural fiber weave, which has not undergone any treatment. Plan your measurements accordingly for your specific garments. For our tablecloths in collection, this shrinkage has already been anticipated; the tablecloths are designed to be the correct size after washing. To preserve the quality of natural fibers, soak new fabrics for two hours in cold water without detergent. Then, without waiting, do a wash at 30°C. You can directly start a 30° wash cycle with moderate spin. You can then wash the cotton or cotton/linen fabric up to 60°C, opting for detergents without bleaching agents to maintain the vibrant colours. Use fabric softeners sparingly as they reduce the absorbency of textiles (especially dish towels). In general, do not use a high spin cycle when washing our fabrics as this breaks the fibers and can mark the fabric; tumble drying is possible but not recommended. For coloured items, wash them 2 or 3 times separately to avoid color bleeding onto other items.
