About linen products
The long fiber of linen lends itself well to weaving and its use can be traced back nine thousand years. In the 18th century, there were several famous Swedish damask weaving mills and the blue-flowering flax fields were breathtakingly beautiful in the countryside. Eventually, cotton took over as the most common textile fiber and the labor-intensive linen ended up in the shade.
Today, flax is no longer grown in the Nordics, except on a limited scale, but linen fabrics are experiencing a renaissance. Awareness of nature has gained a strong foothold and more and more people value tradition and linen's unique properties.
100% Linen consists of only linen yarn, which has many good properties. The linen fiber has extreme strength and absorbency. The fabric is quick-drying and dirt-repellent. If you spill liquid on the fabric, it is immediately absorbed. Linen towels are excellent in the kitchen for drying glass and giving silver and crystal a beautiful shine. The linen also feels nice and cool against the skin.
