WHAT IS LINEN ?
Linen is an annual plant with blue flowers that grows almost anywhere in the world. Linen fibers are obtained from the stalks of the flax plant. Since the fibers are roughly the same length as the stalks, the quality of the fiber depends entirely on the plant's growth — the taller the flax grows, the longer and more uniform the resulting fibers will be.
Flax is one of the oldest textile plants in the world, with fabrics woven from it as far back as 9,000 years ago. In Europe, linen was once the most important fiber for clothing production. Coastal communities also used linen to craft heavy-duty sailcloth and strong ropes.
BENEFITS OF LINEN
Linen fabric is naturally antibacterial and anti-perspirant (people sweat 1.5 times less when wearing linen compared to cotton). Against the skin, linen feels delightfully fresh and cool.
• Excellent heat conductor: Linen conducts heat 5 times better than wool and 19 times better than silk.
• Hypoallergenic and anti-static: Clothing and textiles made of linen are highly resistant to various microorganisms, do not trigger allergic reactions, and do not create static electricity.
• Strong and breathable: Linen fiber is ideal for items that need to be durable, highly absorbent, breathable, and non-stretching.
• Highly durable: Thanks to its amazingly strong fibers, linen cloth is exceptionally long-lasting, meaning it is quite easy to keep in excellent condition.
• Repels dirt and resists fading: The smooth surface of linen does not attract dirt or produce lint. Furthermore, it withstands sunlight beautifully and practically does not fade.
