Flax is often considered the oldest fiber used in the Western world.
Remnants of flax fabric (linen) have been found in excavations at the
historic lake regions of Switzerland, which date back to about 10,000 B.C.
Although the archaeologists dispute the origins of flax , some believe
that it came from the region of Tepe Sabz, Iran (Mesopotamia), ca. 5500 -
5000 B.C. By 4,000 B.C. the Egyptians were cultivating and processing flax
and ancient wall carvings show laborers harvesting flax.
Examples have been found that were spun so fine that more than 360
threads joined together to form one warp thread. The rather incredible
characteristics and properties of flax are once again being recognized.
Although linen has been primarily considered as a fashion fabric in
modern times, the industry and the markets are beginning to understand its
potential as a performance fiber, delivering high strength and
durability, abrasion resistance and high moisture regain, as well as a
luxurious hand and appearance. |
