THE HISTORY OF LINEN
Linen is the oldest textiles fibres. It had been cultivated in Egypt 5000 years ago, and for
centuries it was the only textiles fibre in that land. The cultivation of the flax and the spinning
and weaving of the linen were illustrated on the walls of Egyptian palaces, temples and tombs.
For many hundreds of years Egypt was the greatest linen-production country in the world.
In later years the use of linen spread to Greece and to Rome, where it was used not only
for women’s clothing and handkerchiefs, but also for ship sails.
The every country in Europe began to cultivate flax. And linen was the most generally
used textile until the second part of the eighteenth century, when a number of inventions made
cotton fabrics cheap.
Now flax ranks only forth, because cotton, wool and chemical fibres are used by larger
amounts.
