Linen woven fabrics: the modern charm of ancient fibers

Flax, an ancient and natural textile fiber, has always occupied an irreplaceable position in the textile industry. As an annual herb, flax not only provides high-quality fiber raw materials, but also has a variety of unique properties, making it one of the main fiber raw materials for spring and summer clothes. Linen woven fabrics are a high-quality fabric made by using this high-quality fiber and processed by modern textile technology.

The production process of linen woven fabrics is full of the combination of tradition and modernity. Flax fiber exists in the bast tissue of hemp stems and needs to go through a complex processing process to become usable fiber. After the fiber flax is harvested, it will be bundled into small bundles for retting and degumming. This process can be completed by warm water retting or rain retting. The water temperature of warm water retting is controlled between 28 and 32 degrees Celsius. After about 100 hours, it is fished out and then dried. Rain retting uses mold fermentation under natural conditions. After 7 to 10 days of retting, the stems are broken and the fibers are combed to finally obtain usable flax fibers.

These finely processed flax fibers are processed into various flax woven fabrics through spinning, weaving, printing and dyeing processes. Flax woven fabrics not only inherit many advantages of flax fibers, such as good moisture absorption, fast moisture conduction, strong breathability, etc., but also have higher quality and more application fields through the improvement of modern textile technology.

Flax woven fabrics have moisture absorption and breathability. Flax fiber has a natural hammer-shaped structure and a unique pectin bevel hole structure, which enables it to quickly absorb and release sweat on the surface of the human body and regulate the temperature environment of the skin surface. According to studies, flax fiber has a very fast moisture absorption and release rate, and can absorb 20 times its own weight of water, which makes flax fabrics perform well in summer clothing and bedding. Linen fabrics can not only effectively reduce the temperature of the skin surface, but also keep dry, avoid sweat adhesion, and bring a more comfortable wearing experience.

Flax woven fabrics also have good antibacterial and mildew-proof properties. Flax fiber contains a faint fragrance that can kill many bacteria and inhibit the growth of many parasites. Scientific experiments have shown that the antibacterial rate of linen products against international standard strains such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans can reach more than 65%, and the antibacterial rate against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus is as high as more than 90%. This feature makes linen fabrics have broad application prospects in the fields of medical care and hygiene.

The application field of linen woven fabrics is very wide. In the international market, flax weaving mostly adopts advanced shuttle looms and rapier looms, and the products include delicate and elegant linen handkerchiefs, shirting fabrics, crepe, fancy yarn products and sportswear. Household products cover curtains, wall cloths, tablecloths, bedding and other aspects. Industrial products include canvas, luggage tents, insulation cloth, filter cloth and aviation products.

Linen woven fabrics, with their unique charm and wide application prospects, are becoming a shining pearl in the textile industry. Whether as an ideal choice for summer clothing or as a high-quality fabric for home decoration, linen woven fabrics have won wide market recognition and consumer love with their performance and unique style.
