Linen Fabric
Linen is a natural fiber textile made from flax plants, prized for its breathability, strength, and distinctive texture. It features a crisp, cool hand and subtle natural sheen, making it ideal for warm-weather clothing and home furnishings like curtains, upholstery, and tablecloths. Linen’s strong fibers provide excellent durability and resistance to wear, while its moisture-wicking properties keep the wearer comfortable. The fabric softens with washing and use, developing a charming lived-in look. Linen’s inherent slubs and irregularities add rustic character and uniqueness to each piece. Makers value linen for its sustainability, as flax requires fewer resources than cotton, and for its timeless appeal in fashion and interiors. Its versatility suits both casual and formal garments, ranging from tailored suits to flowing dresses. Linen supports breathable, eco-conscious handmade products with a classic, natural aesthetic.
