Linen fabric / Woven fabric

Linen fabric is a type of woven fabric made from the fibers of the flax plant. The fibers are first harvested and then processed to remove the woody stem and leaves, leaving behind long, strong fibers. These fibers are then spun into yarn and used to weave or knit the linen fabric.

Linen fabric is known for its strength and durability, as well as its absorbency, making it highly suitable for household linens such as tablecloths, napkins, and bed sheets. Its natural fibers also make it breathable and cool to the touch, which makes it a popular choice for summer clothing such as dresses and pants.

One of the most notable characteristics of linen fabric is its natural crumple and wrinkles, giving it a unique texture and appearance. This can be appreciated by many, but not all. While some people appreciate this characteristic, others may find it less desirable.

Linen fabric can also be blended with other fibers, such as cotton or polyester, to create a fabric with the best characteristics of each fiber. This allows for fabrics that are more wrinkle-resistant, more breathable, or more durable than 100% linen fabric.

Woven fabric is the general term for fabrics that are made by interlacing yarns at right angles to create a flat material. The yarns can be made from a variety of fibers such as cotton, wool, silk, and synthetic fibers like polyester and nylon. Woven fabrics can be produced with a variety of patterns, textures, and densities and can be used for a wide range of applications including clothing, upholstery, and technical uses.
