It is easy to wash as it can sustain high temperatures, is has very little if no shrinkage and is very strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, hypo allergenic and thermoregulating, it will also absorb up 20%  moisture before feeling damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs the linen fibers have low elasticity (which causes it to crease) it will wear in any areas that are repeatedly folded in the same place for a long time, however it does have much better abrasion resistance than say cotton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEco Credentials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFlax is a strong plant best grown in northern Europe. It needs little or no fertilizers and due to the local climate, little extra water. It doesn’t really require many pesticides either as it can grow in poor quality soil. The Advisory Commission Report to the European Parliament stated that flax cultivation has positive effects on eco-system diversity as it allows for an “environmental pause”. One hectare of flax can retain 3.7 tons of CO2. Every part of the plant is used, what isn’t used to produce linen can be used to make linseed oil, paper, cattle feed or even soap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLinen is therefore almost naturally organic. It is completely biodegradable, recyclable and due to its natural absorbency, it requires less dye than cotton. Linen therefore scores high on the ecological chart.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Merchant \u0026 Mills","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42524401926399,"sku":"MM-ATBELL","price":12.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0406\/8413\/products\/all-the-blues-2_1_1.jpg?v=1646752284","url":"https:\/\/gatherhereonline.sbs\/products\/all-the-blues-european-laundered-linen","provider":"gather here","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
