Did you know, linen textiles are one of the oldest textiles in the world? History of linen use goes back many thousands of years actually.<\/p>\n

In ancient Egypt, linen was used for mummification and for burial shrouds because it symbolized light and purity as well as wealth. Linen was so valued in ancient Egypt that it was used as currency in some cases.<\/p>\n

Even in Indian ancient history, linen has found mentioned and found to be of great importance. In the Ayurveda, the oldest collection of knowledge till date, instructs, \u201cParivrittam\u201d with \u201cksaumavastra\u201d,\u00a0<\/em>that a newborn child must be wrapped in linen clothing and a neonatal intensive care unit must comprise of linen bed covering. Thus its significance symbolizes that of mother\u2019s care, love and affection.<\/p>\n

Importance of Flax<\/strong><\/p>\n

Linen fibres are produced from the stems of the flax plant. The best thing about flax plant is that all its parts can be used for something \u2013 so no part of it is wasted. For quality\u00a0linen fabric\u00a0only best stems are used, but the leftover parts \u2013 like linseeds, oil, straw, lower-quality stems \u2013 are turned into many products like lino, soap, oil, paper, even cattle feed.<\/p>\n

Why We Love Linen<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are cool to touch, smooth and get softer with repeated washing. The fibres do not stretch but because of this very low elasticity, the fabric will eventually break if it is folded and ironed at the same place constantly.<\/p>\n

Today, linen is appearing in fashion more and more for a variety of reasons.<\/strong>\u00a0with regards to sustainability, linen just makes sense- natural fibres are better for the environment, and it is an excellent alternative to cotton. It has been rediscovered as an everyday fabric as well as a luxury fabric.\u00a0Improvements in linen production have made linen more affordable and it is seeing a return as an everyday fabric.<\/p>\n

Linen on its own can be difficult to maintain and sustain. Blending\u00a0helps in the following ways, It makes the fabric a bit more wrinkle-resistant compared to\u00a0cotton and linen\u00a0in their virgin states. The blended fabric also retains a lot more heat than\u00a0linen, when used alone. Did you know hat actually when these two fibres are blended together, the result is a thinner and lighter composition.<\/p>\n

In the Indian summer months, linen & cotton blended linen are the perfect fabrics that we can use to make a variety of things. We have used it in a number of products because we understand the comfortable luxurious things our customers want in their homes.<\/p>\n

Our Meko and Silo napkins are 100% linen and really add a touch of elegance to any dinner table setting. The Amer Jaipur Runners and our cushions like the Rang, Ainana & the Romany range are made of a cotton-linen blend. Since this blended fabric is more wrinkle-resistant, you don\u2019t have to worry about any guests who may just like to sprawl on your sofas and use the cushions as their resting ground. We want everyone \u2013 you and your guest \u2013 to be relaxed and not worry about the little things.<\/p>\n
