Check this out: When you choose linen, you not only invest in the highest quality fabric, you help the environment. Linen requires five times less
pesticides and fertilizers than cotton. Do your part. Buy linen.
Hypoallergenic
Linen, because of its natural fibers and production process, is specially formulated to be hypoallergenic. In other words, using and wearing linen will help you to avoid common allergic reactions found with other fabrics, particularly synthetics.
Long recommended for people with sensitive skin, studies are now showing that linen may even actually help people overcome certain allergies. This is an exciting time for the science of linen and we here at Fabrics-store.com are just as eager as everybody to discover even more hidden health benefits of this fabulous fabric. We'll keep you posted!
Antibacterial
Linen is one of the "purest" fabrics available anywhere. Because of its incredibly strong tensile strength, linen resists not only stains and dirt, but also inhibits the growth of bacteria that are so common with fabrics that have neither the essential fiber qualities or fundamental weave of linen. Hospitals and service industries around the world use linen products to assure the utmost in sterile environments. In fact, linen thread is the only suture approved for
internal use in the human body!
Thermo-regulating
A fabric that keeps you warm when it's cold and keeps you cool when it's hot? The benefits of linen just don't stop! Linen is naturally thermo-regulating-it's insulating in the cold, and cool and breathable when it's warm.
In fact, studies have shown that people wearing linen in hot weather have skin temperatures many degrees cooler than people who aren't wearing linen. Keep your cool with linen!
Additionally, linen whisks perspiration from the skin. Recent research has demonstrated that a person who wears linen sweats 1.5 times less than when wearing cotton and 2 times less than when wearing a synthetic such as rayon. And, because of its high heat conductivity which is five times as high as wool and 19 times that of silk, it's the obvious choice in all temps.
Antistatic
No more getting shocked! The negative impact of static electricity build up can't be underestimated. Additionally, when sewing with linen, you'll no longer have to apply anti-stats to your thread lubricant-one step that can save you time and money, as well as those little zaps and the effect they have on the tensile integrity of your thread.
Gamma and Solar Radiation Protection
Fabric that protects you from the sun? That's right, linen has shown to reduce gamma radiation by nearly half and offers strong protection against solar radiation. When selecting the perfect fabric for home décor or apparel, linen is the obvious choice especially as compared to wool which has relatively poor resistance to sunlight.
High Air Permeability
Linen breathes naturally. As compared to other natural fibers and synthetics like polyester, linen offers superior reathability and comfort.
As you can see, linen is revolutionizing the way people think about their fabrics-healthier, cleaner, all-around better for you. But, its health benefits are just the beginning of its value.

Don't Let Them Pull The Wool Over Your Eyes. Linen Is The Clear Winner Every Time.
The benefits of linen are undeniable. From being easy to sew, to its durability and ease of care, linen is almost always the perfect fabric choice for every application. Wait a minute…it's not just "almost always," linen IS always the perfect fabric choice.
Take a look at some of the reasons why linen is simply unmatched in quality and excellence.
- highly absorbent
- extremely durable
- long lasting
- resists lint and pilling
- easy to sew
- moth resistant
- resists dirt, stains, and abrasions
- easy care
- Highly Absorbent
Linen is hygroscopic. In other words, it rapidly absorbs and releases moisture. In fact, linen can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in water before it even feels wet-making it the perfect choice for your dish towels and napkins.
Extremely Durable
With its high tensile strength, linen is up to three times as strong as both cotton and wool. No more worrying about everyday use-you'll pull out your linens for every occasion. In addition, linen's durability makes it a joy to work with for all your apparel, hobby, and home décor projects.
Exceptionally Long-lasting
Linen is one of the few fabrics that actually gets better with age. Softer. Smoother. More lustrous. Lasting up to 12 times as long as cotton, linens regularly pass from generation to generation and redefine the meaning of heirloom.
Easy to Sew, Non-Shrinking and Non-Stretching
Due to the linen fabric weave, even sewing beginners can have wonderful results with their first project. Cutting a pattern out of linen is a breeze compared to other fabrics, the linen thread works as a grid making it easier on your eyes. Less ironing is involved while sewing with linen, to have a corner or a hem hold until you are ready to sew it, you do not need an iron, you just need your hand to run over the fold and linen fabric will stay in place.
Because it only minimally stretches or shrinks upon first cleaning, linen is the obvious alternative to cottons and wools for all your fabric needs. No more guesswork on how much shrinkage you'll need to account for in your patterns. No more stretching, so your completed work always keeps its perfect fit and finish.
Abrasion Resistant
When you want the elegance of silk, but its delicacy just won't stand up to the demands of your project, consider the stubborn alternative. Linen is obstinately resistant to scrapes, scratches, snags, and scuffs.
Moth Resistant
No more moth balls? What a relief! Naturally resistant to the most common fabric-devouring bugs, including moths and carpet beetles-due to its long, strong parallel fiber structure-never worry about moths again.
All-Around Ease of Care
Try to imagine a high-end fabric that can just as easily be put in the washing machine, steamed, or dry cleaned. How nice would that be? With linen, you don't have to imagine…"easy care" just got a whole lot easier.
Dirt and Stain Resistant
It's in the fiber! Thanks to molecular structure of flax, linen is naturally resistant to dirt and stains.
Non-Linting and Pilling
No more lint? No more pilling? Linen really could be just about the perfect fabric. The original flax fiber plus the process of creating
linen make it resistant to collecting lint or pilling. Say goodbye to the raggedy look of those little pill balls forever.
As you can see, linen has a long pedigree of benefits. It's unmatched in quality, luxury, excellence, and ease of use.
