Linen

Linen is made from flax fibers; depending on the proportion of flax fibers in the fabric, it is referred to as half linen (at least 40%) or full linen. Linen has now been almost completely replaced by the finer cotton, but has become increasingly important again in recent years as a natural fiber. In the past, linen was often used for bed and household linen as it is very tear-resistant and easy to care for. Today, it is also increasingly being used in the manufacture of clothing.
