Linen is a durable natural cellulose staple fiber that is created from the stems of the flax plant.
Grown across the globe for over 30,000 years, linen textiles are durable, lightweight, and breathable. Linen is commonly used in bedding, upholstery, and apparel. The process used to manufacture linen involves cultivating the flax stems, followed by rippling, retting, scutching, spinning, and then weaving. The quality of linen fibers are graded by color, finesse, and length, with longer fibers having a smoother and softer feel.
