Flax fiber exists in the phloem tissue of hemp stem. After retting and degumming, part of the gum is removed, so that the adhesive fiber bundle is partially loose, and then it is processed into "beating flax", which is a process fiber composed of 10~20 single fibers.

The flax is not good in quality. It is treated as a soft fiber flax, which absorbs water unevenly and will turn black after wetting. Check whether the thickness of the longitude and latitude lines is uniform through light transmission. If the warp and weft are too uniform, it may be cotton fabric.
