Linen
Fabric Online
Linen fabric has been used by man for thousands of years. Since linen is
such a strong and durable fabric (as much as 2-3 times as strong as
cotton) it is used for many types of products including napkins,
tablecloths, pants, draperies, bedspreads and slip covers. It adds a
more eloquent and luxurious look to your home decor.
Linen had many uses in ancient times. For example, linen was used to
wrap up mummies, and was a common fabric used to make sails for ships. Today linen is a common fabric in bedding and is even used as a fiber
in United States currency.
Environmentally conscious folks will be pleased to know that the
processes used to make raw linen consume far less resources
than other types of fabrics. Compared to cotton manufacturing, for
example, linen requires only one quarter of the water and energy to
create.
