Useful properties of linen fabric.

Despite the variety of modern synthetic fabrics, linen does not lose its position in the rating of consumer preferences. This is not surprising, since linen fabric has a number of undeniable advantages, even when compared with other natural fabrics - cotton or wool.

It feels like a cool fabric, so on summer nights it is very comfortable to sleep on linen bedding. Even in cases of an increase in body temperature due to illness or sunburn, linen sheets bring long-awaited relief to patients.
