What plant is linen made from?

Being grown here in the UK as well, lovely fields of blue when the flax blooms in spring.

ATS, Flax is also grown here on the Canadian Prairies. I agree, they are a lovely blue when blooming.

Linen fabric has often been used to provide the outer covering of the wings, fuselage, and tail section of small (& perhaps larger airplanes); much better than cotton but ultimately replaced by polyester fabrics, in particular Ceconite, a special blend of polyester fibers.

Far too many ads, especially when they pop up in the middle of answering a question

Linen is one of the best choices to wear in hot climates. Since flax is a reed it is naturally much cooler than cotton or hemp fibers. Unfortunately, it tends to wrinkle easily and is significantly more expensive....but, linen sheets on a hot summer's night is just pure bliss!!

GraceSpace, linen is made from flax by definition although hemp has been used to make textiles for thousands of years.

nowadays Linen is also made from HEMP! A Wonder plant with SO many benefits for our Health also 😉
