Linen

Linen is probably one of the oldest textile fibers in the world. After the fibers are combed out of the stems of the flax plant and dried, the bolls are removed by roasting and the fibers are spun into yarns. These yarns can then be used for weaving.

A distinction is made between full and half linen. Full linen consists of 100% linen, while half linen must consist of at least 40% linen and is additionally processed with cotton.

Garments made of linen are characterized by their outstanding heat-regulating properties. Linen fabrics are especially popular in summer because they have a pleasant cooling effect. Linen is hard-wearing, strong and dirt-repellent. Since there is no linting and linen has an antibacterial effect, this fabric is also suitable for allergy sufferers.

Care: As a rule, linen fabrics can be washed at 40 °C in the washing machine, sensitive garments such as blazers or vests should be sent to the dry cleaners. For drying, it is recommended to hang the linen fabrics wet, drying with the dryer or wringing can cause wrinkling of the fabric. You should never iron with dry heat, it can make the fabric brittle. If in doubt, always follow the washing instructions or contact the manufacturer.
