Manufacturing
Linen is made of flax, one of the most ancient plants on earth. Over 5000 years ago, linen was the symbol of purity. The flax is grown in the vicinity of the IJsselmeer with the so-called 'rotation method'. No pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used. The problem of pests is solved by introducing natural enemies. During the spinning process, no chemicals or other chemical after-treatment is used. The result is a strong, washable and dust-resistant fabric, free of electrostatic, with a silky gloss. Gift from the manufacturer.
