Blog Post - 6 Interesting Facts you may not know about Linen.
Linen is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, fabric. Mummies were wrapped up it and it has lasted for centuries. There is no question about linen being durable.
Linen is very breathable, allows air to move around freely and thus, releases moisture very fast. That’s not to say it is anti-allergic — it will not remove your allergies altogether, but linen clothes and sheets are definitely a safe choice for anyone experiencing some type of discomfort - such as night sweats.
Linen is unquestionably the most sustainable fabric. It is 100% biodegradable in its purest form, produces zero waste, and retains carbon that is released into the atmosphere. As a bonus it is naturally hypoallergenic. It's good for the environment and you!
Growing linen doesn’t require wasting water. Unlike other natural and cellulose fibers that require irrigation and tons of water, flax needs only rain to survive.
No harmful junk is required to produce linen. Flax seeds require very little fertilizer, and no pesticides or defoliants. It actually protects and fertilizes the soil, and is grown from certified GMO-free seeds.
Using linen means you are conscious consumer. You are contributing to a more eco-conscious and sustainable world by using materials that are natural and don’t cause harm or destruction to our environment.
