Linen is always a warm weather favorite, because it looks like summer and is cool to wear. If you want for your linen to wrinkle a lot less, do the following:
Before you preshrink, open the windows and iron the linen with the hottest dry iron possible, to set a wrinkle-less finish, which is already on the fabric. Next, throw in a little gentle detergent and wash and dry in the hottest water and hottest dryer you have. Take out of the dryer when close to bone dry. You will notice that smaller softer wrinkles have replaced the hard crease usually associated with the fabric.
