Flax Fabric

The flax plant is what creates fibres to make what is known in the UK and the Western world as linen. Flax fabric consists of flax fibres which vary in width from 137cm to 149cm of which there are 2 main types of fibre. The first fibre is shorter and is often used to create coarser fax fabric, with the second being a longer fibre which is used to create finer fax fabrics.
