why we love linen

 

linen 

is one of the oldest fabrics known to mankind.
       
       it is completely natural and fully biodegradable. 

of all textile fibers, linen is the most ecologically sound, 

and supports the ecosystem of our planet.

linen is woven from the flax plant,

and is grown for its fiber 

(the stem produces linen, paper and rope) 

and its seeds (for linseed oil). 

every part of the plant is used. 

the production of linen fabric uses 

5 to 20 times less water and energy 

than the production of cotton or man-made fibers.

linen is strong and sturdy. 

it is twice as strong as cotton.

linen absorbs moisture very rapidly 

and dries quickly.

linen launders beautifully and 

becomes softer with each use. 

it is highly absorbent, lint free and static free.

linen is extremely long lasting 

and is often passed on through generations.       

our linen tea towels are handprinted one-by-one, 

using ecologically friendly water-based inks.

use cloth not paper :)
