Pure Linen as a Favoured Fabric

1. Pure Linen as a Favoured Fabric Linen is made from the fibers of the flax plant that grows in the East, and in many parts of western Europe, especially Belgium which is known for different fabrics such as lace – and of course pure linen. It is also grown in many parts of France. From these countries, linen is exported to different parts of the world, and also to the UK where, in recent years, demand for it has been on the up. Most people will recognize the fabric immediately for its naturally crumpled, un-ironed look, which is what sets it apart from, say, cotton, wool, satin, and other synthetic materials and fabrics. Linen is a natural fabric spun from the yarns of the flax plant, pure and 100% organic. Once the fabric has been spun, it undergoes certain processes such as stone washing and dying before it is offered to the public. Linen is used to creating a variety of products and items for the home and for personal use, such as bedlinen and clothing for both men and women, right from shirts and trousers to jackets. You may find linen items in the kitchen too, such as an apron made of it, or when you sit down for dinner, you may be looking at and touching a linen tablecloth or napkins. Many homes and guesthouses these days have linen curtains in front of their windows, and seeing them in different colors and color combinations is not strange; it adds to the appeal for the buyer that often has their ideas about color schemes for their interior and their décor. These linen curtains come in virtually every color one can think of, with earthy colors such as olive green, rustic browns, and icy blues as some popular options. Of course, you may be buying your linen curtains from a source - either in a shop or from a leading website – that offers varied choices, which may also include blackout options, i.e. a linen curtain with a backing that blocks out the sun on those unpleasant, hot summer days when you want the rooms to remain cool and pleasant. Some retailers or suppliers may decide to offer their blackout curtains as a mix of linen and another fabric, or they may decide to offer the customer a product with double linen. And of course, there are still choices in terms of finishes such as borders, frills, and other attractive features that may make the curtains stand out and make a great statement. Of course, linen is used in many other instances, such as bedlinen. These days leading retailers and websites will offer the customer sheets, pillowcases, sets, duvet covers, bedspreads, runners, and more in high-quality, pure linen – in various styles, colors, and size options. Linen as a fabric has been gaining ground in Europe and many other parts of the world in recent years and now offers options that we not available a few decades ago. A lot has to do with exposure and good advertising so that customers are aware of the different products and their choices. In addition to acquiring linen products for their aesthetic appeal, it is mentioned for other qualities that are often appreciated by those that buy items made from linen.

2. Reasons people now look at linen as a great alternative include, for example, its breathability and the fact that it helps to cool the body down in summer and keep body heat in during the winter – hence its popularity in, for example, the Mediterranean. It is easy to maintain: put it in the washing machine and let it out to dry, or tumble dry at low heat. It is also known to last for many years. As a favored fabric for millions all over the world, pure flax linen remains a popular choice.
