L inen is woven from the noble natural flax fibre which has been used for cloth manufacture since 8000 B.C. Linen is one of mother nature s greatest fibres. It is strong, smooth and bright. It can be beautifully woven into intricate designs which have an enchanting quality.
Linen cloths are very durable, outlasting cotton by many years.
If you want the best then pure linen is essential. You will appreciate its rich fibre by the distinctive touch, by the unique drape and by the crisp warmth that linen exudes. A lthough pure Linen is manufactured in different parts of the world, it is Irish Linen that is recognised widely for its several attributes that raise it well above Linen from any other country. These are principally the fineness of the yarns and woven cloth that is still achieveable by Irish Spinners and Weavers, as well as the skills, handed down through generations, that are applied by Irish operatives to the creation of delicately woven cloth in intricate designs. In addition, the softness of the water in Irish streams, which is harnessed for Bleaching, Dyeing and Finishing, results in cloth which is of delightful and enviable handle and appearance , thus ensuring that Irish Linen cannot be matched in these essential characteristics.
