A Love For Linen

Linen is becoming ever more popular in the world of interiors, and we couldn't be more excited about it! Not only does it offer an effortlessly stylish feel to our space but it is also one of the most sustainable fabric choices out there. As we move into the idea of making more environmentally conscious efforts in our everyday lives, we wanted to share with you how truly remarkable this fabric is.

Derived from flax fibres, linen is one of the most durable fabrics in the industry, making it ideal for incorporating into our everyday lives. Although heavier in weight, the properties of linen make it 30% stronger than their cotton counterparts, allowing it to stand the test of time. Initially, linen can feel quite coarse and rigid but it mellows over time to become more soft and supple.

Well known for its moisture-wicking properties, linen can absorb up to 20% of its weight in moisture but it also dries much faster than other fabrics. Being porous in nature, linen makes for an excellent conductor of heat, which is why it is a popular choice for clothing and bed linen in warmer climates and over the summer months.

Linen also has natural antibacterial properties which is why it has been favoured for medical dressings for centuries. Not only has linen been favoured throughout time for its tremendous properties, but it has a rich history dating back to Ancient Egypt and European Medieval Times.
