Description

Linen is a textile made from flax plant fibres and has been known since 6000 BCE. Babylonians were the first who started weaving flax and started linen trade. At one time linen was so widely used as even today “linen” stands for bed sheets and pillowcases – even if they are made from other fabrics than linen.Roman sold
