What is flax linen?Updated 23 days ago

Flax linen is a plant-derived material that originates from flax or linum usitatissimum. Your sheets start life as a cellulose fibre in the stem of the flax plant (also known as a bast fibre) which is harvested before being spun into fabric. This process of recovering a fibre from the inner bark of a plant is similar to how we might extract hemp or rattan.
