The secrets of linen technology: the gorgeous transformation from raw material to finished product

Ever wondered how your favourite linen pieces are made? Linen is a particular type of fabric used for items such as bed sheets, tablecloths, and clothes. This material has been cherished for centuries because of how great it feels and how lovely it looks. Youmian is a manufacturer of good linen fabrics, and they want to show you how it goes from a plant to a pretty item that you don't mind to used in your life every day. 

The Journey of Linen 

Linen is derived from plant fibers, specifically from flax. It is tall and thin and has beautiful blue flowers that bloom beautifully. When the flax plant is mature, it is harvested (cutdown and collected). Once harvested, fluff goes through few necessary steps before it turns into the linen fabric all of us love. The first step at Youmian is to decontaminate the flax, removing any dirt or debris. This ensures that the fibers we use are free from contaminants. 

The next step is to break the flax fibers out from the plant. We call this process retting. This process, called retting, involves soaking the flax in water or letting it sit in the dew. This begins to separate the fibers from the rest of the plant material, which facilitates future processing. 

After separating the fibers, we spin them into yarn. This is an exciting step as the yarn is what we’ll use to produce the fabric. Once we have spun the yarn, we take this yarn into a particular tool called a loom. The loom is a machine used to weave the yarn together. This means weaving the threads in a certain way, which is responsible for the feel and look of the linen fabric. Once the fabric is woven, it becomes a piece of linen that can be utilized for multiple purposes. Then before we send it to you, we finish the fabric to soften it and make it smooth on your skin. 

The Secrets of Good Linen 

Youmian takes pride in using the finest flax fibers as material for our linen products. The best flaxcomes from Europe, where the climate and soil conditions are ideal for growing the plant. These European fibers are strong, durable and tensile, so they play an important role in producing top quality linen fabrics. We choose these fibers carefully so that we can create products that our customers will love and use for years to come.Passive Income, Classes, Binge-Watching & Fast Fashion Brownie Points.
