Linen is a material made from the fibers of the flax plant.
Flax fiber
General Information
The term "linen" refers to fabric made from flax fibers, however today it is often used to describe bed and bath textiles because traditionally linen was widely used for towels, sheets, etc. (1) As used today the word "linen" is descriptive of a class of woven textiles used in homes as towels, sheets, and tablecloths. In the past, the word also referred to lightweight undergarments such as shirts, chemises, waistshirts, lingerie, and detachable shirt collars and cuffs. Modern linens are typically manufactured of natural fibers like cotton, silk, modal, and (sometimes) flax, as well as synthetic fibers including polyester, rayon, etc. Historically, linens were manufactured almost exclusively of fibers from the flax plant ("linum usitatisimum") but also hemp, cotton and/or a blend of these fibers.
