EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LINEN FABRIC 👀

There are certain things that we all grow up with. They're always around, so usually, we don't tend to think about them much. We see them day in and day out, often they impact our lives in a dozen different ways, but we never notice them because they're so reliable that their very constancy gives us no reasons to. This is as true in home decorating as in any other aspect of life, and like any other aspect, it's true that if you ever stop to take a look at one of these things, you're almost always sure to find something wonderful.

Linen fabric is made from flax fibers. The flax plant has been cultivated in just about every country in the world and has been used to make fiber for over six thousand years. To extract the fibers, the plants are either cut or pulled by hand from the ground (it's said that pulling creates finer linen). The seeds are then removed through a process called winnowing or ripping, followed by retting which removes the plant stock from the fibers. Once the fibers are separated to collect the longest, which can be up to 20 cm long, they are spun into yarn and then woven into the fabric.

Because of its porous nature, linen has natural heat and moisture-wicking properties that make it a good conductor of heat and a popular fabric to use for clothing or bedding in the summer. It also makes it possible for linen fabrics and accessories to hold dye colors better than some other fabrics. Linen is also naturally anti-bacterial, which had made it a popular choice for bandages for centuries and a favorite for window treatments and accessories such as accent pillows.
