Linen is a bast fiber. Flax fibers vary in length from about 25 to
150 mm (1 to 6 in) and average 12–16 micrometers in diameter. There
are two varieties: shorter tow fibers used for coarser fabrics and
longer line fibers used for finer fabrics. Flax fibers can usually
be identified by their “nodes” which add to the flexibility and
texture of the fabric.
The word "linen" is derived from the Latin word for the flax plant,
which is linum, and the earlier Greek λίνον (linon). This word
history has given rise to a number of other terms:
Line, derived from the use of a linen thread to determine a
straight line
Lining, because linen was often used to create an inner layer for
wool and leather clothing
Lingerie, via French, originally denotes underwear made of linen
Linseed oil, an oil derived from flax seed
Linoleum, a floor covering made from linseed oil and other
materials
Linen was sometimes used as a form of currency in ancient Egypt.
Egyptian mummies were wrapped in linen as a symbol of light and
purity, and as a display of wealth. Some of these fabrics, woven
from hand-spun yarns, were very fine for their day, but are coarse
compared to modern linen. In 1923, the German city Bielefeld issued
banknotes printed on linen. Today, linen is usually an expensive
textile produced in relatively small quantities. It has a long
staple (individual fiber length) relative to cotton and other
natural fibers.
