Linen is a natural fibre made from a plant known as flax.
Flax is one of the oldest textile fibres and has been used for centuries because of its amazing properties.
While linen may seem stiff at first sight, it is actually soft, comfortable and unbeatably fresh. These properties make linen feel nice on your skin. You'll be surprised to see that linen gets softer and softer every time it's washed. In My Linen Home, we pre-wash all our linen products. This will not only make it super soft before you buy it, but also keep the fabric from shrinking later on.
We like to say that linen has a built-in climate control function, and it really is true. It sustains the temperature balance perfectly while allowing your skin to breathe. Therefore, you won’t feel hot in it during the summer, and it will keep you warm in winter. Linen bedding helps your body to breathe freely in different conditions, preventing sweating and maintaining just the right temperature.

- Linen is made from the flax plant, growing of which requires fewer resources like water or pesticides compared to widely used cotton.
- When the plant is harvested, different parts of it are used for making various products other than linen fabric, such as twines, ropes, also linen seed oil and meal, both of which are used as food supplements for their health-boosting properties.
- Flax doesn’t require any chemicals to be produced into linen fabric and the fabric itself is fully biodegradable if no chemicals are used in the making.
One of the most appreciated linen’s feature is its durability. Coming from nature, and only treated with high quality materials, it can last you for years.
Flax linen is considered to be one of the strongest natural fibers, therefore linen items can withstand many washing cycles. And just like cotton, linen can be easily washed in a washing machine with a recommended temperature of 40°C / 105 F.
Furthermore, linen has natural hypoallergenic properties which make this fabric gentle to the skin, even sensitive one.
