I love linen and don't worry about the unmade bed look with all the creases. It's just such a comfortable fabric to wear and, I think, easy to maintain.
I usually wash linen items together, at 30 degrees and try not to spin for too long. Since I live in a hot climate, I always line dry because I worry about creases being dried into the fabric which makes ironing more difficult. If I'm forced to dry indoors, I never tumble dry linen for the same reason.
Steam ironing on the wrong side normally gives an immaculate finish - shame it only lasts for a few minutes once the clothes are worn! ?
