A what ifs section concludes the tutorial. It includes how to care for your linen jewelry.  Linen is incredibly strong, long lasting, natural, and easy to clean. It dries quickly and does not retain moisture, making it a cool choice for jewelry for hot weather. Linen becomes softer with wash and wear, but rest assured that the linen yarns selected HERE are already incredibly soft. It is the high fashion natural alternative to hemp cord.
