The blend retains the excellent breathability of both fibers, making it comfortable to wear for long hours, especially in warm and humid weather in India.
- Softer than Pure Linen: The addition of cotton makes the fabric softer to the touch compared to a saree made entirely of linen.
- Less Prone to Wrinkling (than pure linen): While it might still wrinkle more than pure cotton, the cotton in the blend can help to reduce the extreme wrinkling associated with 100% linen sarees.
- Good Drape: The blend often offers a graceful drape that falls well.
- Versatile Texture: It has a unique texture that is not as crisp as pure linen nor as soft as pure cotton, offering an interesting tactile experience.
- Durability: The linen content contributes to the saree's durability, making it a long-lasting garment.
- Variety of Designs and Prints: Linen cotton sarees can come in various designs, including plain weaves, printed patterns (like floral, geometric, or block prints), and sometimes with woven zari or embroidered borders, catering to different tastes and occasions.
