Properties:
Linen has been used for centuries because of its beneficial properties; cool and breathable, gets softer with washing & wear and linen is impervious to moths and resists dirt and stains. Linen will not form lint or pill and can be washed at high temperatures with only moderate shrinkage.
The characteristic slubs (once viewed as a fault) are now part of the aesthetic appeal of quality linen fabric.
