Laundry bag mangle linen

We are not sure that a laundry bag is always used as such, because our own experience and surveys in the house show that it does not accommodate dirty laundry only when traveling, nor exclusively textile. But whatever you use it for - storing or transporting laundry, shoes or toys, sports or beach stuff, etc. - this laundry bag does it all. The Hoffman linen weaving mill makes it from so-called mangle linen, a very tightly woven and thus strong, durable half-linen fabric. The name comes from the former use of this fabric for cold ironing. In this process, the laundry to be ironed is laid dry or with some residual moisture on a long cloth - the ironing linen - and rolled onto a wooden roller, which is rolled back and forth with great pressure under a box weighted with sand or similar. The linen itself is gently smoothed in the process, as no heat is required. The ironing line, however, must be very durable and long-lasting in order to withstand this stress over the long term. The laundry bag made of it is correspondingly sturdy. The extra-thick cord runs in sturdy galvanized metal eyelets, which can withstand even a strong jolt.

Upper Lusatia is one of the European textile regions with a long tradition of linen weaving. The Leinenweberei Hoffmann is one of the few companies to have survived there to this day, thanks to the wealth of experience it has accumulated and cultivated and its comparatively early specialization in jacquard weaving and embroidery. With nationalization in the 1970s, individuality and the production of pure linen declined noticeably. It was not until the company was reprivatized in 1994 that it was able to resume work on the old looms and thus continue the tradition of Oberlausitz linen. The company has been weaving and manufacturing at its headquarters in Neukirch in Lusatia since 1905.
