The Benefits of Linen
For thousands of years, linen has been highly sought after for its durability and fine quality. Its uses have adapted over time. but what exactly has made linen so desirable to so many
Linen is absorbent & breathable
The perfect choice for warm, humid weather, linen is very absorbent due to its hollow-shaped fibers that can hold 20% of their weight in moisture, wicking moisture away from the skin and keeping you comfortable.
In addition, the fiber is super breathable, allowing air to pass through and naturally ventilate.
Linen is ultra comfortable & moisture-wicking
Because linen instantly absorbs moisture, you won’t feel damp, keeping you comfortable-no sticking or clinging or sweat patches.
Linen is durable
Linen is the second strongest natural fiber after silk and is 30% stronger than cotton, helping it remain longlasting. Made from flax fibers, linen can last up to 30 years with proper care and washing. It won’t lose its shape and beauty unlike other fabrics, becoming softer and softer with time.
Linen is sustainable
Linen is made from the flax plant, which has the ability to grow in rough conditions with little water and no fertilizers or pesticides needed, making it much more eco-friendly compared to cotton. In addition, the remaining parts of the flax plant can also be used to make oil or food, with no waste!
Linen is fully biodegradable, with the ability to naturally break down in a matter of weeks instead of centuries.
Linen is temperature regulating
