Flax is a natural fabric that has long been made in our country and in a number of other countries. It is made of flax fiber, which is obtained from the plant of the same name. Flax is pleasant to the body, breathable, hygroscopic and durable. It is most comfortable when used as clothing (sundresses, summer dresses, business suits, negligees, etc.), bed linen is sewn from it, it looks spectacular as kitchen textiles and even overalls.
Flax is a very beautiful and at the same time ecological material. It has a matte surface, but can be very different. Here and dense fabrics, and thin. Pleasant to the touch. Modern industry allows you to give flax a variety of additional properties. It is made with the addition of fibers of cotton, viscose, silk, as well as various synthetic threads. Always look at the composition specified by the manufacturer. This will help you choose the fabric that will best suit your idea. Sometimes you can find a fabric that mimics flax by weaving, but does not contain it in the composition. This results in stretch flax, salsa flax, gabardine flax and others.
The conditional disadvantages of the fabric include the following:
- Like any natural fabric, flax shrinks. This should be taken into account when creating products.
- In its pure form, flax is very wrinkled. Synthetic fibers are added to flax just to reduce this effect.
