Linen fibers are long and tightly wrapped, making the fabric very strong and long-lasting.
- Breathable: Its loose weave allows for excellent air circulation, keeping you cool in hot weather.
- Moisture-wicking: Linen can absorb and release moisture quickly, which also contributes to its coolness.
- Absorbent: It can absorb a significant amount of moisture without feeling damp.
- Hypoallergenic: Generally well-tolerated by people with sensitive skin.
- Texture: Often has a slightly rougher, more textured feel initially, which softens with washing. It has a distinct, natural look with subtle variations in the weave.
- Wrinkles easily: This is a characteristic trait of pure linen.
- Sustainable: Flax requires less water and fewer pesticides to grow compared to cotton.
