The flax fiber exists in the bast tissue of the flax stem. After retting and degumming, part of the gum is removed, so that the adhesive fiber bundles are partially loose. Then, the flax fiber is processed into "beat flax" by pressing, rolling and beating, which is a process fiber composed of 10~20 single fibers. Linen cloth has high fiber strength and is not easy to tear or puncture. It can be scraped and pressed by the color mixing knife.

Linen cloth is woven by twisting flax into thread. Its surface is not as smooth as chemical fiber and cotton cloth. It has a vivid concave and convex texture. Artists often make use of this subtle and interesting material beauty. In addition to synthetic fibers, linen is one of the strongest textiles.
