How to Keep Linen Material From Wrinkling

Linen was one of the first fibers to be turned into cloth. It's a lightweight fabric that is also soft and comfortable to wear in almost any setting. Although popular, linen has a tendency to wrinkle. These wrinkles make the fabric look messy and is a problem if you are wearing a linen suit or other garment for professional purposes. It is possible to keep linen free of most wrinkles with proper care, however.
