Linen is a flax-based textile that is predominantly used for homeware applications. While linen is similar to cotton, it is made from fibers 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.

The technique of top-dyed spinning involves dyeing fibers into colored fibers first, mixing two or more fibers of different colors, and spinning them into yarns with unique color mixing effects.
