Linen blending refers to blended fabrics that are blended with flax fibers and other fibers. Flax fiber is derived from the stems of flax plants, which are highly resilient and durable, and are also very breathable and hygroscopic.
Linen blended fabrics are often mixed with cotton, silk, wool, polyester and other fabrics to integrate the characteristics of different fabrics. For example, a linen and cotton blend can ensure that the fabric is soft and breathable, while a linen and silk blend can give the fabric a silky shine and feel.
