what is linen fabric?
Linen is a sustainable fabric that’s made from the fibres of flax plants, which are extremely common flowering plants found across the world. The process begins with pulling the flax plants from the ground by hand. Seeds are taken out, and the fibres are treated with bacteria to loosen them from the stalk.
These stalks are then squashed between two metal rollers, causing them to further break down and release even more fibres. The longest and softest flax fibres are taken, spun into yarns and then woven to create the sumptuous end product you see in our linen duvet cover sets.
This whole process takes a lot longer than it does to harvest cotton. Linen is also much more difficult to weave, leading to a higher price tag down the line.
The resulting fabric is extremely strong and durable, while offering breathable comfort that’s ideal to tuck yourself up in year-round.
why go for linen duvet covers?
Caught between cotton and linen, or just unsure of which bedding fabric is the best fit for you? We’ve already brought you our 7 incredible benefits of 100% cotton bedding, so make sure to check that out if you’re in need of some convincing.
Linen and cotton bedding share a lot of similarities, and one isn’t necessarily better than the other – but there are a few standout qualities which might make linen the right choice for you.
The number one thing that sets our linen duvet cover sets apart from other fabrics is their strength. Linen can be up to three times stronger than cotton, due to the sturdy flax fibres which are longer and tighter-wrapped than those in cotton yarn. It’s extremely hard-wearing as a result, and will outlast most other fabrics while keeping in great condition.
Linen is also a dream to take care of, since it’s heavily resistant to dirt and stains. Its anti-static properties provide the smooth linen finish that stops the fabric from clinging to your body, and the same is true for stains.
It wicks away moisture with ease, making sure you’re always fresh and comfortable through the warmer months. The organic fibres make linen hypoallergenic, and a perfect match for those with sensitive skin or allergies.
