Anti-moth- you can pass on the fabric as an heirloom
Antiseptic – Linen has been used to cover wounds; resistant to bacteria and fungus
No lint – wipes glassware with no streak
Linen should be rolled when stored as it will memorize a crease
The tensile of linen fabric three times stronger than cotton; three times stronger than wool
Non-static
The more linen is washed, the softer it becomes.
Natural silica in flax fiber protects linen against rotting…that it why mummies that were wrapped in linen are still protected by their covering
