Introduction to fabrics: Linen

myfabrics.co.uk — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 08:00:21 +0000

This material has been trendy for thousands of years: Linen. Allow the cloth experts at myfabric.co.uk to introduce you to everything this material is capable of:

The fabric:
Besides wool, linen is the fabric that human beings have used the longest; people have been producing it for more than 6,000 years. Today, this fabric is popular for making summer clothing, but it is also used as a (printed) decorative material or for bags, shoes, and in the production of books.

Linen is naturally anti-bacterial, nearly anti-static, and dirt-resistant.
Linen is able to absorb up to 35% humidity without feeling damp. The cloth is slightly prone to wrinkling, but it possesses a natural shine and robustness. Similar to silk, linen is able to cool and warm simultaneously.

Care tips:
Linen is best washed at up to 40° C in the washing machine at low revolutions, since the material might otherwise wrinkle. Linen is best ironed inside out while slightly damp and at higher temperature settings. Alternatively, it is also possible to work with a steam iron or to iron the material underneath a damp hand towel, e.g. to avoid ironing spots.
If the linen becomes slightly softer, then it may be dried in the drier, but make sure to dry it at a lower temperature.

Production instructions:
Linen is wonderfully easy to sew, and is therefore also great for beginning sewers. Even opened seams are not necessarily a disaster. A medium needle thickness is recommended, e.g. 75 to 80, and a normal thread, e.g. Gütermann all-purpose thread.
Linen is significantly easier to dye (for example with vat dyes) than it used to be. Previously, only the natural dye of indigo was effective for dying the cellulose fibres.
