Linen
Mankind’s oldest fabric, linen wrapped mummies 4,500 years ago. Made from flax, which can’t be cut, the fibres are strong, crisp & mothproof. Linen’s natural properties make the best summer clothes, keeping wearers cool & dry. Enviro-friendly linen needs less pesticides/ fertilizers than cotton. 100 years ago, Londonderry in N Ireland was the centre of global linen production
