What is linen fabric?

Linen refers to the fibres in the stalk of the flax plant. Linen has a natural lustre due to its smooth surface. The thickening in places gives linen textiles their typical appearance. Linen has the lowest elasticity of all textile fibres.

Linen yarn is usually processed in a plain weave, which is the oldest and simplest basic weave in textile production. The warp and weft are crossed like a chequerboard, i.e. one on, one off.

There is pure linen (100% linen) and half-linen (linen-cotton blend). The feel of half linen is softer and warmer to the touch.

Linen has many good properties. It cools in the heat, is tear-resistant, hardly electrostatic, dirt-repellent and bacteria-inhibiting, very absorbent, boil-proof and does not pill. It is cool and dry to the touch.

Linen is durable and easy to care for. It can be washed at high temperatures and is much less sensitive to alkaline solutions (detergents) than cotton.

On the other hand, linen has a low abrasion resistance and is therefore not as hard-wearing as cotton.

It must therefore be washed on a gentle cycle. Due to its susceptibility to rubbing and creasing, the fabrics are also unsuitable for tumble dryers. Dry heat also damages the fabric, so it should still be slightly damp when ironing. The fabric has low elasticity, does not retain its shape and is prone to creasing.

We stock high-quality linen fabrics by the metre made from pure linen or as a linen blend mixed with cotton or organic cotton. Linen fabrics are particularly comfortable to wear on hot days as their smooth, long fibres have a cooling effect.

Particularly sustainable linen fabrics from European production have been awarded the European Flax Certificate.

Linen fabrics generally have a slightly coarser texture and are ideal for blouses, shirts, trousers, light jackets and much more.

Linen fabrics are made from natural fibres, so they are generally free from synthetics and therefore environmentally friendly.
