A sustainable fiber for the production of linen fabrics
Introduction To Flax
Flax is one of the oldest and strongest natural bast fibers, extracted from the flax or linseed plant. It is a hard, brittle fiber with a natural luster, and its color typically ranges from ivory to light brown to gray.
Flax has a long history and has been used to make clothing, canvas and ropes as early as ancient Egypt. Flax has always been the main textile raw material in ancient Greece, ancient Rome and medieval Europe. With the Industrial Revolution, the linen textile industry flourished, but was gradually replaced by cotton. In recent years, flax has received renewed attention due to the focus on sustainable materials.
A strong plant fiber similar to linen
Introduction To Ramie
Ramie, also commonly known as Chinese grass, is one of the oldest fibers used in textiles and it is also one of the strongest natural plant fibers. The natural white has a silky sheen, similar to linen. To improve its properties, it can also be blended with other fibers such as cotton, polyester and wool.
Ramie has an ancient history and was used by ancient civilizations in China and India around 6000 BC. Ramie was widely used in ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and ancient Rome to make clothing, ropes and canvas. In medieval Europe, ramie was one of the main textile raw materials. During the colonial era, European colonists introduced ramie to the Americas and cultivated it on a large scale. In recent years, ramie has once again attracted attention due to the demand for sustainable materials, re-emerging in fields such as fashion and home furnishings.
A low-cost, easy-maintenance, fast-growing fiber
Introduction To Jute
Jute is a highly lignified species (lignification: the cell wall becomes hard and firm due to the deposition of polymers composed of lignin derivative units produced by the cells, increasing the plant's ability to support gravity. The woody cells inside the trunk are due to The result of lignification) is a natural plant fiber extracted from the jute plant. It is also known as "golden fiber" because it is usually golden brown in color and has a natural luster. It is second only to cotton in terms of production and global consumption, and is also one of the most affordable fibers.
Jute has a long history. In ancient Egypt and ancient India, people already used jute to make clothing, ropes and various supplies. Jute was used extensively in Europe during the Middle Ages, particularly in textiles, rope and canvas making. With the colonial era, jute was introduced to the Americas and became an important raw material for European markets. However, with the rise of synthetic fibers, jute's use gradually declined. Recently, jute has attracted renewed attention due to the demand for sustainable materials.
