You are part of the artwork.
With UKENA, the story continues through you.
The ritual of care is not a burden. It is part of the work.
To wash, to dry, to iron, to wear. Each is an act of completion.

Wash

For Best Results:
Hand wash in cool water (20–30 °C) with mild, pH-neutral soap.

If using a machine:
Delicate or hand wash program, cold wash (≤30 °C), low spin (≤800 rpm).
Turn inside out. Use a mesh bag. No bleach. No softeners. No harsh detergents.

Respect the fibers. Respect the threads.

Dry

Air dry in the shade.
No tumble dry.
Never wring.
Roll gently in a towel.

Let gravity and time do their quiet work.

Iron

Medium to high heat with steam. Iron while slightly damp.

Protect embroidery:
Iron on the reverse side or cover with a pressing cloth.
Crisp if you wish. Sharp as canvas.

Or wear the wrinkles. They are memory. They are character.

Stains

Treat promptly with cool water and mild soap.
Pat, never rub.
Even a trace can become part of the journey.

Remember

We all grow old. We all wrinkle. That is beautiful. It has character.
Your linen softens with memory, collecting conversations as part of its fabric.
This art is now part of your life.
You complete it not only by wearing it. You complete it by caring for it.
