The linen fabric is once again a trend among the fibers chosen for the manufacture of bedding due to its multiple advantages and excellent properties.
Flax is a fiber that was used with great assiduity in ancient Egypt to meet the demands of the high nobility, the place where its cultivation began.
Flax is extracted from plants that contain very elongated fibers that can reach up to 1 meter.
FEATURES
The fiber ready to spin has a whitish, blond, tan or gray color depending on the origin and the quality of it. Like cotton, it is composed mainly of cellulose, which is able to absorb up to 20% of water without feeling wet.
On the other hand, linen fabrics do not whiten or yellow with the type but they produce an opposite effect, with each wash they become softer and whiter.
It is also a high strength fiber, almost 3 times stronger than cotton, more rigid, cool to the touch and very resistant to stains. Otherwise, it has a tendency to wrinkle because its fibers lack elasticity, so it is often preferable that it be combined with percentages of cotton.
BENEFITS
- HIGH DURABILITY - 100% NATURAL
The fabric is made with natural, biodegradable and recyclable fibers that stand out for their strength and lightness. It also improves blood circulation and promotes relaxation.
- TOILET
Linen fabrics are hygienic due to the ability of their fibers to eliminate the activity of the pathogenic microflora of our skin, such as those we generate with our sweat, rejecting all types of bacteria.
- NEUTRALIZE THE ODORS
By preventing the proliferation of bacteria, it is able to absorb odors preventing them from being impregnated by the tissue.
- REGULATES HEAT EXCHANGE
Once the heat appears again in our homes it is advisable to surround yourself with natural fabrics that let the air pass and isolate us from the heat. Thanks to the quality of their fibers, they are able to lower the temperature of our skin to the touch with tissue up to 3.
In summary, buying home textile components with some percentage of linen is a way to give more quality to the fabric by getting all the properties and benefits that this fiber offers. The only doubt usually arises because they say that it wrinkles a lot by having natural fibers with little elasticity, however, these wrinkles make the fabric elegant and look very well aesthetically.
