Why linen?

- It absorbs moisture better than cotton anddries faster, perfect for those with healthy sweat ducts.
- Linen doesn’t collect dust so it’s good for those with allergies.
- With more elasticity and space between the threads, air can easily pass through, making it a cool fabric.
- Linen is among the strongest plant fibers; 2-3 times stronger than cotton.
One downside: it’s a lot pricier than cotton.
