Cotton and linen are the sustained and natural fabrics. They are not only environmentally friendly but also soft and comfortable, as a result, they have become popular with people for thousands of years.
These two fabrics possess similar features. For examples, they are both soft and durable, owning high hygroscopicity and high dyeing ability, as well as the high Alkali resistance. The pure cotton garments have less durability than the linen fabric, but the cotton fabric will be softer than the linen. Therefore, many garments are made of both cotton and linen so as to combine their advantages.
By the way, like the other natural fabrics, both linen and cotton fabrics are in poor wrinkle resistance and easy to shrink the distortion. However, the special wrinkle style is the cotton linen garments’ style. Regardless of wrinkle problem, it is easy to handle this. You just need to spray some water on the wrinkle parts, the strong vertical sense of the linen and cotton fabrics will flatten the clothes when they dry out.
In addition, some people may complain about the poor touch feeling for the linen garments. In fact, the high-quality linen or the fabrics with a high percentage of linen is harsh to the touch. After several times of washing, the clothes will become soft. So please don’t worry about this.
