That’s right, linen is made from cellulosic fibres found inside the flax plant. Grown across the world, flax is a highly resistant crop that can be grown in poor soil, requires little watering or pesticides, and is one of the few fibres available in which almost every inch of plant is used in the meaningful production of products.
