You’ve got to love linen. Strong, resilient and absorbent - yet soft, lustrous and luxurious.
Flax linen has so many great qualities that make it the best choice for a comforting hanky.
Historically, linen has always been highly valued. One of the world’s oldest fibres, records of linen
date back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt and Greece. When the mummified
remains of Pharaoh Ramses II were discovered in 1881, linen wrappings were perfectly preserved
after more than 3000 years. Over the centuries linen has been used as a currency, a show of wealth,
in religious symbolism, to make books, bank notes and as a surface for oil painting.][4]
Today, linen remains a highly valued textile produced in relatively small quantities. Easy to care for,
it's mostly used for apparel and homewares. Linen naturally resists dirt and stains, is impervious
to moths and carpet beetles, creates no lint and doesn't pill. In fact, rather than wear out with use
and laundering, strong and resilient linen fibres become softer and more absorbent over time.
Linen is woven from the fibre of the flax plant. Flax is a sustainable crop which grows in less fertile
soil and requires less irrigation than conventional, and organic cotton crops. Flax requires less
fertilisers, pesticides and fungicides to thrive than conventional cotton does, and processing linen
has substantially less environmental impact to the planet than the manufacture
of viscose or any other synthetic fibre.
Natural, absorbent, durable, stylish, easy care, eco-friendly, soft and comforting linen.
Aww... Bless!
