What is Flax?

Linen is a natural fiber obtained from the flax plant ( Linum usitatissimum ). It is one of the oldest textile fibers cultivated by humanity, prized for its strength, durability, breathability, and cool feel . Linen fabrics are known for their natural, slightly wrinkled appearance and their ability to absorb moisture quickly and dry easily.

The unique properties of flax include:

  • Strength and Durability: It is one of the strongest natural fibers, which gives fabrics excellent longevity.
  • Breathability and Freshness: Its hollow structure allows for great airflow, making linen garments ideal for hot and humid climates.
  • Moisture Wicking: Can absorb up to 20% of its weight in water without feeling wet, and dries quickly.
  • Hand Feel: It may feel slightly stiff at first, but becomes softer with each wash, developing a beautiful drape.
  • Hypoallergenic and Antibacterial: Naturally resistant to bacteria and fungi, ideal for sensitive skin.
  • Pilling Resistance: It is less prone to pilling than other fibers.
  • Sustainability: Growing flax requires less water and pesticides than cotton, and all parts of the plant can be used, making it a more sustainable option.
  • Natural Shine: It has a subtle and natural shine that gives it a sophisticated look.

Common forms of Flax marketed:

  • Linseed Straw: The unprocessed flax plant after harvesting, used for fiber extraction.
  • Flax Fiber (Staple): Flax fiber separated from the woody part of the stem, but not spun. It can be “long-staple” (long fibers for fine yarns) or “short-staple” (short fibers for coarser yarns or blends).
  • Combed Flax (Flax Tops/Tow): Long, parallel fibers ready for spinning. “Tow” refers to the short fibers resulting from combing, used for thicker yarns or industrial uses.
  • Linen Yarn: Spun linen yarn, available in different thicknesses, purities (100% linen or blends) and finishes (raw, bleached, dyed).
  • Raw or Finished Linen Fabrics: A wide variety of fabrics (e.g., plain linen, chambray linen, jacquard linen) in different weights and textures, whether raw, bleached, dyed, or printed.
  • Flax Fiber for Industrial Uses: For the manufacture of composites, bioplastics, specialty papers, insulating materials, etc.

Features and Specifications of Linen:

We market flax in various forms and grades, adapting to the demands of each industry:

  • Fineness (Tex or Denier): A measure of the thickness of the yarn. A lower fineness indicates a finer thread. In fiber, this is a measure of the fineness of the filament.
  • Fiber Length (Millimeters): Longer fibers are preferable for higher quality and stronger yarns.
  • Natural Color: The color of raw linen can vary from pale gray to beige, depending on the growing region and the retting process. Bleached linen is pure white.
  • Purity: Specifies whether it is 100% linen or a blend with other fibers (e.g., cotton, viscose, lyocell).
  • Origin: Geographic origin can influence fiber characteristics and certifications. The main producers of flax for textiles are France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and China.
  • Retting Method: The retting process (separating the fiber from the stem) can be done by spray (retting) or by water. Spray retting produces fibers with a more rustic feel, while water retting can result in softer, more lustrous fibers.
  • Certifications:
    • OEKO-TEX Standard 100: Guarantees the absence of harmful substances.
    • European Flax®: Certifies flax grown in Western Europe, promoting sustainability and traceability.
    • Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS): For organic linen.
    • ISO standards: For fiber and yarn quality.
    • Traceability: Ability to trace the origin and production process of linen.

Main industrial applications of Flax:

Linen is an extremely versatile material and is used in a wide range of industries due to its unique properties:

  • Fashion and Textile Industry:
    • Clothing: Shirts, dresses, pants, jackets, suits, especially for summer and warm weather clothing.
    • Household Linens: Sheets, pillowcases, tablecloths, napkins, towels for their durability and absorption capacity.
    • Upholstery: For furniture and interior decoration due to its resistance and natural aesthetics.
    • Accessories: Bags, hats, belts.
  • Footwear Industry: For the manufacture of breathable shoes and sandals.
  • Crafts and Decoration: For painting canvases (linen fabric), embroidery, ropes and cords.
  • Composites and Advanced Materials Industry:
    • Biocomposites: Flax is used as reinforcement in composites for the automotive, aerospace, and sporting goods industries, offering a lightweight and sustainable alternative to synthetic fibers.
    • Bioplastics: As filler or reinforcement in biodegradable plastics.
  • Paper Industry: For the manufacture of high-quality paper (e.g., currency, cigarette paper, art paper) due to the strength of its fibers.
  • Insulation: In construction materials for thermal and acoustic insulation.
  • Industrial Uses: For tarps, tents, fire hoses.
