Me and Em 'creaseless linen' - is it easy to care for?

Tempted by one or two things in this linen/viscose mix. Website says cool handwash onle.

I'm torn - I have had no good experiences of viscose, no matter how careful I am with it. Can anyone report back ?

I have the oversized blazer in the crease-less linen mix fabric. It does crease but not in the same way as 100% linen. More rumpled than creased. The care label from the blazer is dry clean only and I haven’t nor would I handwash it.

To add, I avoid 100% viscose if I want to hand-wash or machine wash the item as I find no matter how I wash it, the item always shrinks.

That’s been my experience!

I’ve this dress in 0live. It does crease, but no where near as much as pure linen. It’s a bugger to iron. I put it on a cool wash in the machine, with no spin and it’s fine.

It’s the spin. Not the wash. You need to set to zero spin.

Thank you. I think I’llgive it a miss. At least pure linen washes easy wven if it does crease

My experience with viscose linen mixes is that the viscose dilutes the beautiful qualities of the linen (the wobble and the slub and the weight) and it just doesn't feel as good. I would stick with pure linen.
