Where should you place a quilt?

The quilt is an extra layer , so there are few rules for using it, as long as it keeps you warm . It can be placed across the entire bed on very cold nights, or folded in half at the foot of the bed for milder nights. It all depends on the sleeper’s preference!

How to clean your quilt?

It is not necessary to wash your quilt as often as you wash your sheets. It should be washed after a stain or possibly at the beginning and end of the season. Washing at 30°C or 40°C is perfectly suitable (limit to 30°C for the very first wash), taking care to select a gentle spin cycle beforehand . Finally, Embrin recommends air drying to avoid damaging the linen fibres in the tumble dryer or risking discolouration of the fabric.

How do you remove stains from a linen quilt?

If you have stained your linen quilt, don’t worry! There’s a solution for every type of stain. You can remove a chocolate stain using a mixture of warm vinegar, lemon juice, water, and washing-up liquid. For blood stains , use warm water with a drop of washing-up liquid. If it’s a wine stain , sparkling water is best. For coffee stains , gently rub with stain-removing soap . For tea stains , a mixture of 90° alcohol and white vinegar will do the trick. Lipstick marks will disappear with methylated spirits.

How can I preserve the colour of my quilted bedspread?

To preserve the brightness of its colours, it is recommended to soak the linen quilt in white vinegar , to which a cup of coarse salt has been added, for one to two hours. The quilt can then be given a quick machine wash to remove the smell.

Which quilt pattern for which sheet colours?

Overall, there is no right or wrong answer. That said, some designs are better suited to certain Embrin colours than others. The Twilight on the Cliffs design pairs perfectly with the colours Apricot , Teal Duck, Saffron or Chalk . The In the Shade of the Apple Trees design works well with the colours Natural , Storm Grey or Fig Red. The Zen Garden design matches the colours Midnight Blue , Prussian Blue , Almond Green or Mist Grey. For the Beechwood Walk design, the colours Apricot , Natural , Linden Green or Flax Flower are all a good fit. The colours Chalk , Fig Red, Maritime Pine and Flax Flower highlight the Linen Herbarium quilt. The Riverside Cottage print offers a lovely contrast with the colours Linden Green , Storm Grey or Aubergine. The Wild Fauna pattern goes perfectly with the colours Bark Brown, Khaki and Honey . The Leopard Prints pattern will pair beautifully with the shades Heather or Natural . The Romance quilt in Flowering Fallow will be enhanced by the colours Saffron and Bark Brown. The colours Fig Red and Forest Green are a good match for the Dreams in the Undergrowth quilt. The Celadon Green and Midnight Blue will bring beautiful nuances to the Flight of Pheasants print. The Infusion of Flowers quilt will dress an Apricot duvet cover beautifully. As for the Summer Leopard Dress design, it will complement a Petal Pink duvet cover or a Linden Green sheet .

How to choose the right quilt?

We recommend choosing a quilt that covers the entire body rather than a model that only covers the feet. It is preferable to keep the body at a uniform ambient temperature while at rest to support healthy blood circulation , which can sometimes be less effective during sleep. Therefore, it is best to choose a quilt with the largest possible dimensions , especially if two people are sharing the same bed. Embrin quilts measure 140x200 cm, which matches the size of a standard double mattress. This format allows both sleepers to enjoy a warm environment for restorative sleep . Embrin fills its quilts with wadding made from 50% merino and 50% polyester . This prevents allergies caused by feathers and down, as well as feathers escaping from the fabric, which can create unpleasant sensations.

Two-tone

Washed Linen Quilt Yellow Houblon Two-Tone

The Jaune Houblon shade, a velvety greenish yellow, dresses washed linen in a fresh, botanical tone. This gentle colour captures the light and reveals the fabric’s natural texture, bringing a bright touch to the bedroom.

The Jaune Houblon front contrasts with the Ficelle reverse, creating a subtle balance. The double frill finish outlines the edges and adds a sense of lightness.

Create a sense of harmony in your bedroom décor by adding our Jaune Houblon curtains, and balance the look with lighter shades such as our Naturel pillowcases or our Craie duvet cover.

Made from 100% linen, this bedspread showcases an ecological, local, and durable fibre. Grown in Normandy, our linen is pleasant to the touch, softening over time and with washing, while retaining an irresistibly natural crumpled drape.

Our making workshop is located in Seine Maritime, in Ambrumesnil. Our seamstresses, who handle each of your orders, work with a view over the flax fields. Every day, they apply their expertise to crafting your pieces with perfect finishing touches.

This bedspread has a removable cover and is filled with a soft, comfortable wadding. We offer it in 70 x 220 cm and 140 x 220 cm, so you can choose according to your decorative preferences.

When I received my order I immediately saw that everything was perfect: high quality parcel, careful inside, delicate presentation of the linen and of course impeccable quality and making. Fully deserved compliments, which make one proud to have such a French company. Well done to everyone (especially to Hélène)

Quite simply perfect! Quality and making of course, but also: attention, kindness, taking into account the slightest request, punctuality. I really appreciated the spirit of this company, well done!

For over a year we have been using Embrin products, bath towel, pillowcase, fitted sheet, duvet cover, napkin. The quality of the products is really appreciable. (The products become softer and softer after each wash.) The parcels are carefully packed, the team's responsiveness is great. We can only recommend Embrin, a fine French company!

Linen sheets grown, spun, woven and sewn within a small area. Thick, strong fabric with a beautiful colour, which arrives very nicely packaged with the name of the seamstress for even more personalisation and traceability. A rare but so precious company nowadays.

I am finally taking the time to thank Hélène and the seamstresses at the farm who managed to make and send me 3 beautiful raw linen tablecloths for our wedding table in record time! French making with excellent value for money, which can be proud of itself for the great quality of its linen. Not to mention the made-to-measure design, the kindness and attentiveness to find a solution during the holiday period! In short, I highly recommend!

We have been loyal for several years. Sleeping in linen is really most pleasant. Butterfly sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, everything is perfect and their linen weaving does not wear out like the usual sheets you find in shops. Also, the welcome is warm, it is a pity they are so far from us to visit them.

Very beautiful covers with nice finishing. The order went really well! The team always answered my questions quickly and clearly. The colour of the sheets is even more beautiful than in the photos.

Thank you again for your magnificent products, very well made. Third order with you, the quality is always there. Of course it is an investment but at least everything is made in France! Colour that matches perfectly with the honey colour!
