Linen is most loved for its diversity, from a rustic and neutral look to soft and refined. It is often found in homes on upholstered and loose covered furniture, curtains, cushions, bedding and clothing. But did you know the benefits of linen run right down to the fibres?

How is Linen made?
Linen is an amazing natural fabric made from flax fibres and this process has been used to make linen for almost 6,000 years.
The plants are first removed from the ground by cutting or pulling and then the seeds are extracted though a process called winnowing or ripping. To separate the fibres from the flax plant itself, a natural process takes place called “retting” that utilizes bacteria to decompose the pectin that binds the fibre together.
Once the long fibres are removed they are brushed out into long strands that can then be spun into yarn and eventually woven into linen material.
The best part about this process is that it’s practically zero-waste. Anything that will not be used in the fabric manufacturing, such as the woody stalks of the flax plant and the roots, compost back into the soil and the seeds used to make linseed oil.
Benefits of Linen
Linen is Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly: Linen is a sustainable, natural fibre growing without the use of pesticides, fertilizers and additional watering. This also makes it a renewable resource, plus being a natural fibre it’s also biodegradable.
Producing linen has a smaller environmental impact than cotton, mainly as it needs little to no water consumption to grow. Also, as mentioned above, the production of linen is rarely wasteful.

In this article, we break down the different lining options so that you can make an informed decision when choosing curtains for your home.
But first… Why line your curtains? Windows play a major role in controlling the temperature in your home – so it’s important to cover them appropriately. Lined drapes create a thermal insulation barrier that will help keep your home warm and cosy.
Thermal lining: Thermal curtain lining consists of one layer (or one pass) of coated acrylic suede. It offers a thermal barrier, increasing energy savings and helping keep your room warmer. It is important to understand that due to the construction of this fabric, some light will still pass through into the room. Another thing to be aware of is this fabric can tend to ‘dust’ at times, which can be an annoyance when particles collect behind your curtains and on your sills.
Blockout lining: Blockout curtain lining comes in several varieties. We’ve outlined three key fabric types below:
1. Silicone-coated: One of the newer products on the market, silicone blockout lining is coated with three layers of silicone to protect against the sun and moisture. This fabric has extremely good blockout properties and, because it’s thicker, it also retains heat better than thermal lining. Unlike acrylic suede lining, it won’t create or hold any loose dust. Another benefit is that the silicone on the back of the lining can easily be wiped clean with a damp cloth, making for easy spot cleaning.
