Linen fabric is a type of elegantly woven fabric that is breathable, durable, and soft. The production of Linen begins by harvesting flax plant fibers. These irregularly shaped fibers are made into slubbed yarns, which in turn are woven with a plain, one-over-one-under weave, to make Linen fabric. This fabric is subtly textured and can have a unique, handmade appearance due to being made from irregular, slubbed yarns.
New Linen may feel crisp and slightly coarse, but over time the fabric has the ability to naturally soften. This happens when the natural fibers of Linen begin to break down from normal wear and care. That being said, Linen is still a durable fabric and can last a lifetime with proper care.
Furthermore, since Linen is made from natural fibers, it is considered to be a hypoallergenic fabric. This means that Linen fabric causes fewer allergic reactions in people than other, synthetic fabrics. Lastly, Linen fabric is unlike other fabrics in its ability to regulate temperature. A fabric with high thermal conductivity, Linen will keep you cool when it's warm, or keep you warm when it’s cool.
Use Linen fabric to sew stylish apparel like suits, jackets, and gowns. Also make comfortable and flowy garments like blouses, shirts, and dresses with Linen. Because the fabric is hypoallergenic, you could sew soft and hypoallergenic items like infant clothes, baby bibs, blankets, bed sheets, and pillowcases. Furthermore, craft luxurious decors like curtains, table covers, and upholstery for furniture with Linen fabric.
