Natural Linen – Standing Out From the Rest

Natural linen pillow covers, sheets, duvet covers, and bedspreads stand out from the rest of the possibilities such as, say, cotton, that people use as their choice of bed linen.

WHAT IS NATURAL LINEN?

Natural linen is a fabric made from the fibers of the flax plant which is cultivated in parts of Western Europe, such as France and Belgium, as well as in many parts of the East, where the plant has its roots and where it is grown and harvested. From the flax plant’s inner fibers comes the material that is used to make the linen yarn from which linen items are produced. First, the outer fibers which cannot be used, are separated from the inner fibers and the latter combed (also referred to as ‘hackled’) to produce even thinner or finer strands so that they are prepared for a spinning process.

Once the spinning is complete, the threads are reeled so that they can be used to weave into the fabric we know as linen. It is clear, therefore, that the fabric coming from the flax plant is unique in its way and used to make bed linen and other items for use ...
... in the home.

WHERE IS NATURAL LINEN USED?

This fabric enjoys a tremendous following all over the world, and you are sure you see it all around you in people’s homes, in hotels and guesthouses, and even restaurants that create their unique décor, and even as garments worn by both men and women.

•As bedlinen – Natural linen is used in many homes and facilities that accommodate guests, such as hotels and other options, where you see the fabric which is used to make beautiful items ranging from flat and fitted sheets to linen pillow covers, duvets, and bedspreads. Depending on who you buy your bedlinen from, you may come across one or two outstanding suppliers such as Linenshed that go to trouble to ensure that their customers are offered something that stands out from the rest.

You may find you are offered pre- and stone-washed linen with its unique crumpled look, which is an important part of the charm that this fabric holds for those that appreciate a fabric and item that discerns itself from so many ordinary fabrics. Natural linen such as bedlinen is hugely popular all over the world.

•As curtains – As is the case with bedlinen, natural linen is often used in curtains which you can buy from suppliers, or order online from select services – or make yourself if you acquire a roll of the fabric. If you deal with a good supplier, you are assured of being offered many great options and items in different colors and sizes. Some you can buy from a shop in the mall, but the discerning buyer may want to look at what a good website has to offer them in terms of natural linen curtains – and other products.

•As table linen – Items made out of natural linen adorn tables in homes and elsewhere and they often become a focal point when you have guests over. They look unique, they are offered in different colors and styles, and they are easy to clean after your meals.

•As clothing for men and women – A few years ago clothing made from natural linen was seen only around, say, the Mediterranean, or in parts of South America, or the East. This situation has changed, and these days we see people all over the world wearing linen clothing as it has become fashionable, it is easy to maintain and clean, it can be worn almost anywhere, and you can now buy these items from more outlets and suppliers than ever before.

•The above indicates how popular natural linen has become, whether you are looking at natural linen pillow covers or another bedlinen, clothing, or curtains, for example.
