Linen fabric
Linen fabric is made of the 80-120 cm long stems of flax plant. Fibres are softened by rinsing, then united into a fabric. Mummies in Egypt were wrapped into linmen, from here it spread to the ancient Greece, than it conquered the whole Europe.
Linen fabric effectively absorbs moisture, but it can quickly release it as well. It is the perfect summer outfit, since it helps regulatig the body heat, and has weak heat-insulating ability. Unfortunately, it is not very durable, so it crumples easily. Just like cotton, it is also skin-friendly, but it is a bit rough to touch , since it is more rigid. It does not have electrostatic charge, and it does not get fuzzy.
Unfortunately, linen can shrink. so it needs to be washed at a low temperature! The colour of colured linen should be fixed with vinegar after the first wash!
The duvet is washable at 40 oC.

It is used for producing different types of fabric, from thin batiste, through light clothes fabric to heavy industrial fabrics. It's often used in households (tableclothes, napkins, bedclothes, blankets), but it's also suitable for decorational purposes: for furniture and tapestry. The so called half-linen fabrics are made of cotton and linen. They are usually used for cheaper houshold wipers, and other cheap linen fabrics. Thanks to its durability, it's used for painting canvases as well. The attributes of linen filling are very similar to cotton.
