Linen is a cellulosic fiber derived from the stem of the flax plant. Linen fibers are much stronger and brighter than other textile fibres, producing fresh and absorbent fabrics. It is still grown naturally and is eco-sustainable and completely recyclable and biodegradable. The fiber has a shiny appearance, and it presents a cold and slippery hand. Linen is hygroscopic, therefore it removes humidity quickly. This fabric also has healing characteristics. For example, it blocks the development of bacteria that cause an unpleasant odor on the skin and minimizes the risk of skin diseases caused by increased sweating and has absolutely no risk of developing allergies.
