Flax Fiber
Flax fiber is a natural textile derived from the flax plant, known scientifically as Linum usitatissimum. It is one of the oldest fibers used by humans, dating back thousands of years. Flax fiber is prized for its strength, durability, and breathability, making it an excellent choice for various textiles, including linen.
The process of obtaining flax fiber involves harvesting the plant, retting, and then separating the fibers from the stalks. Flax fiber is also eco-friendly, as it requires fewer pesticides and fertilizers compared to other crops. Additionally, it has moisture-wicking properties, making it comfortable to wear in warm weather.
