Why should you wear linen clothes?

Flax is a tall, straw-shaped fibrous plant with a stem up to 150 cm tall. Linen fabrics are strong and resistant to rotting. Most importantly, it is a completely organic product that does no harm to nature.

Linen fabrics are among the oldest in the world. In Palestine and Egypt, flax fiber was produced in the 4th-5th millennium BC. Egyptians sewed clothes and sails from linen fabric, used it during prayers, sacrifices and mummified Egyptian pharaohs. In the Lithuanian people, flax was considered a sacred plant, it was mentioned in the oldest Lithuanian folk songs. In short, it is an elegant, durable, eco-friendly and long-lasting natural fabric that is very comfortable to wear.

Linen has many benefits, but here we will list some of the main qualities of linen in our opinion

 

• Flax has antibacterial properties, does not cause allergic reactions — it is considered a natural antiseptic. Compared to other fabrics, linen creates the best microclimate for the skin — it is breathable, perfectly absorbs moisture and maintains a uniform body temperature, so it is suitable for all seasons.

• Absorbing up to 20% of its weight in moisture, linen does not become wet - this is very important when using linen bed linen, linen kitchen and bath towels and clothes, as they make the skin sweat less.

• Linen is resistant to static electricity, so it does not electrify and protects the body from ultraviolet rays and reduces the effect of radiation on it by half.

• Linen fabric is durable and strong — even 3 times stronger and 5 times more resistant to abrasion than cotton.

• The surface of the linen fabric is covered with small, smooth, slippery hairs that help prevent dirt build-up and stains for longer.

• Each wash, unlike other fabrics, only softens linen and makes it whiter and less wrinkled.

• Linen is an ecological, biodegradable, waste-free product that does not have any harmful effects on nature.
