Linen is stronger and shinier than cotton. It is made from fibres taken from the stalks of linen plants. These structural fibres are very strong, and have a longer staple length than cotton fibres. Known for its crisp texture, strength, and natural luster, linen yarn is perfect for creating lightweight garments, and durable home textiles. Linen has a smooth finish that improves with each wash.
