EspañolSelecting high-quality Linen fabric (linen) does require some professional knowledge and skills. Here are some practical methods to help you distinguish the authenticity and choose a satisfactory product:
1. Observe the appearance characteristics
Color and gloss: High-quality linen usually presents a natural brown or beige color, with a soft and natural luster. Too bright or too dull colors may indicate dyeing or processing, so you should choose with caution.
Texture and texture: Linen has a unique texture and a vivid concave and convex surface, which is not as smooth as chemical fiber and cotton. When you touch it, you will feel its unique rough but delicate texture.
2. Check the details
Warp and weft: Check whether the warp and weft of the linen are uniform and the lines are clear through the light. Uneven warp and weft may be a blended or inferior product.
Density: Tighten the cloth grain and check the density of the weaving. High-quality linen is tightly woven and not easy to deform.
Threads and breaks: Observe the fabric carefully for excessive threads or breaks, which are usually signs of poor quality.
3. Perform simple tests
Water absorption test: Drop a small amount of water on the linen and observe how quickly and evenly it absorbs water. High-quality linen absorbs water quickly and evenly, while inferior or treated linen may absorb water unevenly or more slowly.
Burning test: Take a small piece of linen and perform a burning test. When flax fibers burn, they will smell like burning grass, with yellow or blue flames and less ash that is light gray or white like grass ash. If there is a pungent smell or abnormal ash color when burning, it may be a blended or inferior product.
4. Check labels and certifications
Ingredient labels: Check the ingredient description on the product label to ensure that it is 100% flax or a high-content flax blend. Avoid buying products that do not clearly mark the ingredients.
Quality certification: Pay attention to whether the product has passed relevant quality certifications, such as ISO, OEKO-TEX, etc. These certifications can guarantee the quality and safety of the product to a certain extent.
5. Consider the price
Price comparison: Although price is not the only criterion for measuring quality, too low a price often means that there are problems with the product quality. When comparing the prices of different products, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as quality, craftsmanship and brand.
