Best way to pack linen?

Off to Croatia tomorrow for a few days - sorting out clothes and there’s quite a bit of linen. Should I roll them up to best avoid creases? Don’t wont to be ironing!

Lay linen item flat, then layer of tissue paper, then t-shirt or similar, layer of tissue paper, next linen item, and so on until you have maybe ten-twelve items.

Then a few folded clothes one third of the way down to make a middle pile, then roll to form a large sausage-roll shape.

Sleeves are awkward but try to fold them into the centre gently around other t-shirts/cardigans etc so they don't get crushed.

You are trying to avoid any sharp creases.

Large sausage-roll can then be placed in suitcase and packed around with underwear, swimsuits, towels etc.

Not sure how well I have explained this but good luck; enjoy your holiday Smile
