Etymology

The word "linen" is derived from the Latin word for the flax plant, which is linum, and the earlier Greek λίνον (linon). This word history has given rise to a number of other terms:

Line, derived from the use of a linen thread to determine a straight line

Lining, because linen was often used to create an inner layer for wool and leather clothing

Lingerie, via French, originally denotes underwear made of linen

Linseed oil, an oil derived from flax seed

Linoleum, a floor covering made from linseed oil and other materials

Flax Fiber

Flax stem cross-section, showing locations of underlying tissues. Ep = epidermis; C = cortex; BF = bast fibres; P = phloem; X = xylem; Pi = pith

Linen is a bast fiber. Flax fibers vary in length from about 25 to 150 mm (1 to 6 in) and average 12–16 micrometers in diameter. There are two varieties: shorter tow fibers used for coarser fabrics and longer line fibers used for finer fabrics. Flax fibers can usually be identified by their “nodes” which add to the flexibility and texture of the fabric.

Properties

Linen fabric feels cool to touch, a phenomenon which indicates its higher conductivity (the same principle that makes metals feel "cold"). It is smooth, making the finished fabric lint-free, and gets softer the more it is washed. However, constant creasing in the same place in sharp folds will tend to break the linen threads. This wear can show up in collars, hems, and any area that is iron creased during laundering. Linen's poor elasticity means that it easily wrinkles.
