For many years, cotton has been an ideal textile for summer casual wear, but the oldest fiber in the world has finally come back into fashion: flax.
This natural beauty, together with wool, was the most commonly used clothing textile before the industrial revolution. Although there are a lot of synthetic fibers, there is still demand today.
What kind of ancient material is it, and how does it maintain its relevance and desirability? Flax is a fabric made of flax, which is considered as one of the oldest crops.
Archaeological evidence shows that as early as 30000 BC, Georgia began to use linen fabrics.
By about 3000 BC, Mesopotamia had mastered the complete domestication of flax plants and the efficient production of flax fabrics.
The long and strong stem fibers of flax plants can be easily spun into yarn and thread, and then used to make everything from rope to cloth.

There are many different weights, strengths and textures, and flax seems to have endless uses. In medieval Europe, flax was used to make exquisite underwear, tablecloths and ceremonial clothes.
It is an inseparable part of society and regarded as a strategic resource, which is as important as steel and oil to us today.
In ancient Egypt, mummies were wrapped in linen, and even vikings wore linen.
Samples of ancient Egyptian linen collected from segala can be traced back to 390-343 BC. A piece of modern linen was dyed dark blue by Armstrong.
There is no doubt why so many cultures use linen as their main clothing: wearing linen is an absolute pleasure.
Flax is famous for its looseness, drape and wrinkle, softness and aging.
Flax is easy to wash, has good water absorption, does not shrink or warp, and is beautiful even if it is not dyed.
The texture of the fabric gives it a sweet texture, which is beautiful compared with natural fibers such as wool and silk.
Its breathability, perspiration, moisture absorption, corrosion resistance and insect resistance are probably the most respected. The excellent folds of linen on Armstrong's two clothes have been inspected in the ordinary wardrobes of medieval people, mainly producing linen and wool, and silk will also appear in the later period.
Undyed linen is used as underwear, such as tight underwear (underwear that looks like shorts with drawstrings), underwear (called "underwear"), underwear and hair care and veil.
By using flax in underwear, they can protect more expensive coats from sweat because flax is easier to wash and bleach than wool.
Wool is a kind of underwear in the middle ages. It is made of flax and linen and used as the bottom layer.

As a natural fiber and natural plant, it is considered as a sustainable resource and a good substitute for cotton.
Before flax reappeared in the mainstream way, it was very popular in breeding communities all over the world.

Flax is often used by SCA. Because of its historical accuracy and excellent performance in hot and humid environment, many large-scale activities seem to be held in these environments.
Clothes made of wool woven from flax provide a sense of history for the wearer, and also alleviate the heat in Australia and the United States. This is not uncommon in North America this summer, and Armstrong's colorful medieval linen clothes. Now, flax has become the mainstream again after years of worship. These admirers are all from the recreated community! However, why did this film become the focus again? Is there really a problem? Flax is breathable, beautiful and environmentally friendly.
