Linen

Linen is a natural fiber made from the stalks of the flax plant. It's one of the oldest known textiles, dating back thousands of years. Linen is highly valued for its strength, durability, and breathability. The fabric has a crisp, smooth texture and a natural luster, making it a popular choice for clothing, especially in warm weather, as well as for home textiles like bed linens and tablecloths.

The process of making linen involves harvesting the flax plants, retting (soaking) them to separate the fibers, and then spinning the fibers into yarn. The resulting fabric is lightweight, absorbent, and quick-drying, which adds to its appeal.
