Flax is a kind of plant, which can extract fibers, unlike other soybean fibers, seaweed fiber, bamboo fiber and wood fiber. Flax itself is mainly cellulose, without chemical process purification. It is truly pure natural fiber and is as pure as cotton and silk.

Flax fiber is the first natural fiber used by human beings. It is the only bundle of plant fiber in natural fiber. It has natural spindle structure and unique pectin edge hole. It has unique ice cream, sweat absorption, air permeability, low static electricity and antiseptic function. It is very remarkable that the temperature of linen clothes will be 4 and 5 degrees different from the ambient temperature. It is very suitable for summer wear. People say that flax fiber is a "fiber Queen", so the price is relatively high.

Flax

It is the finest fiber in hemp, and its length is not long. The flax fiber has the characteristics of strong pulling force, softness, fineness, weak conductivity, quick water absorption and quick expansion, and so on. Therefore, it has high requirements for textile technology, and can spin high count yarn fabrics. Worsted flax is mainly used for making shirt fabrics, and a linen shirt is the most sought after product.

The rich like it, and it is said to be a symbol of nobility.

The quality of pure linen sold on the market is higher now.

The price can also reflect the quality of linen.

Cheap linen fabrics are mostly made of hemp, with short fibers.

Individual merchants sell semi linen and cotton linen mixed with linen for sale. We can use the following methods to distinguish them.

(1) to see whether the thickness of the latitude and longitude is uniform.

If the latitude and longitude lines are too uniform, they may be cotton fabrics.

(2) tighten the fabric to check the density of the weave.

(3) high quality primary color linen is brown and luster, and water absorption is uniform.

Linen, which is treated as a flexible fiber, is inhomogeneous and wet. It will darken after wetting.

Dress

(4) outer worsted linen, the fewer the surface plush, the better.

(5) the length of the semi linen is different from that of the longitudinal linen.

(6) pull a thread. If the ends are bent and split, the line is cotton.

The ends of the broken linen should be smooth or otherwise impure.

(7) if the caustic soda is applied to the canvas, the flax will appear brown.

It is light yellow.
