LINEN:  While evidence is scant from prehistoric times, it appears that Neolithic peoples in Europe were making textiles from linen as long as 36 000 years ago. Therefore, linen is one of the longest-produced textiles, and its history may stretch back even further than the most ancient evidence that modern archaeology has uncovered.  Linen is a flax-based textile that is predominantly used for homeware applications. While linen is similar to cotton, it is made from fibres derived from the stems of the flax plant instead of the bolls that grow around cotton seeds.  Garments made of linen are desirable in hot and humid climates. Unlike cotton, which tends to retain moisture for a significant period of time, linen dries quickly, which helps reduce heat retention in overly warm conditions.  SOURCE: sewport.com
