Linen yarn

It is made from the long fibers of the stem of flax (Linum usitatissimum). It is one of the oldest and most sustainable textile materials, known for its strength and breathability. It is breathable, hypoallergenic, antistatic, and antibacterial. It has a natural sheen and a characteristic linen appearance. It is very durable and becomes softer and improves in quality with each wash. A distinctive feature is its noticeable wrinkling, which is a natural characteristic of the material. It is used for the production of canvas, tablecloths, towels, bed linen, summer clothing, decorations, painting canvases, and bookbinding.
