If there is one fabric better than cotton to beat
the heat, it is linen. Made from flax fibres, long staple linen fabrics are not
only soft, smooth and absorbent, they keep the body cool and comfortable
throughout the day; much better than any other fabric. Fashion designers have
perceived its wonderful qualities and envisaged its many possibilities as a
trendy and vividly patterned line of apparel that would please the market.

The endearing qualities of
Linen
In new-feel designs and with its soft and smooth
texture, the lustre and feel of linen fabrics make it a great choice as all-day
wear, both for the working woman and housewife alike. Added to these are
endearing qualities like strength, resistance to abrasion and durability. Linen as
a fabric has the ability to take on a whole lot of colors, shades and textures,
thereby expanding its variety and opening it up to a wide range in price and
availability.
Casual Wear |
Pure Linen fabric, a woman’s
best friend in hot weather and sultry conditions for its natural absorbent
quality, allows the skin to breathe and facilitates free circulation of air
because of its non-sticky nature. Besides the external look being one of charm
and trendiness that it provides, linen has been a favourite with current day
designers, for the endearing qualities of this pattern clothing, to include it
in their fabric repertoire. Linen cloth has different textures available with a
range from extremely fine to lightly coarse for a variety of different clothing
and other fabric end uses.

Creating the Linen fabric
Made from flax fibre,
which undergoes a complete process from plant rotting to yarn spinning together
with finishing it involves a cycle that could take a couple of months, but
definitely one worth the hassle. Linen fabric has gained huge popularity over
the period of time being well-known for its durability and strength.

Maintenance
Maintenance of a fabric
is what most people seek after the initial buy. In the case of linen, it gets
to be as easy as it can get. With resistance to dirt and stains, no pilling
tendency, one that can be dry-cleaned, machine washed or steamed, with a high
withstanding capacity to temperature and only moderate shrinkage initially, it
is somewhat like a dream fabric that carries almost zero maintenance.

Other virtues of this
fabric are its smooth lint-free texture, not being affected much by heat and
sunlight compared to cotton and other fabrics, excellent resistance to strong
alkalis, hardly affected by low density acids if precaution of washing
immediately is taken. Linen as pattern clothing makes you feel fresh for its
non-sticky character and dress material may be tailored without any trouble. It
also has the amazing tendency to get softer with every subsequent wash.

Looking good in Linen
Every fabric, be it
cotton, silk or any other has a tendency to absorb moisture but linen hardly
has a tendency to ‘wetness’ and ‘cling’. It absorbs moisture to a great extent
without making the wearer feel unpleasant. The ‘wrinkle’ of linen, is one of
its ‘like-abilities’ and nowadays linen garments air-dried on a good clothes
hanger and worn without the necessity of ironing, has become a trend.
"Slubs", or small knots that occur randomly along its length, were at
one time considered as defects. Today they are seen as a form of design,
particularly in the decorative furnishing industry as a means of creating
aesthetic appeal of an expensive natural product. Some of the finest linen
fabrics have very consistent diameter threads, with no slubs at all.

Putting Linen to good use
What are the uses that
linen as a fabric could be put up to? Well the list is long and varied. You
have formal and designer clothing, dresses, suits, separates, skirts, jackets,
pants, blouses, shirts, children’s wear etc. as apparel. Linen clothing is good
for any time of the year. Others include home uses such as curtains, draperies,
upholstery, bedspreads, pillow covers, bed linens, runners, chair covers table
linens, sheets, dish towels, aprons, bags, towels (swimming, bath, beach, body
and wash towels), napkins, etc.

The Making of Linen
Linen is a material made
from the fibers of the flax plant (Linum usitatissimum), one of the oldest
cultivated plants in human history. The natural linen color ranges between
shades of ivory, ecru, tan, or grey with pure white linen being created by heavy
bleaching. Long staples provide soft weaves and the short ones provide coarse.
Linen is a very durable, strong fabric, one of the few that are stronger wet
than dry.

Care regarding linen
Every flip has its mild
flop as in the case of Linen. While Linen has poor elasticity and does not
spring back readily, explaining the naturally formed wrinkles, some of the more
formal garments require ironing often. But if the wrinkles are viewed as an
interesting form of appearance like trendy fashion in the less formal clothes
they can be left as they are. Constant creasing in the same place in sharp
folds tend to break the linen threads as visible in collars, hems, and any area
that is iron creased during laundering. Linen is so much easier to iron when
damp. Mildew, perspiration, and bleach could damage the fabric.
