Linen is derived from the flax plant, which grows in cool, temperate climates. The plant is cultivated from seeds, requiring well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight to thrive. After about 100 to 120 days, the flax plants flower and then produce seed pods, at which point they are harvested, and the fibers are extracted from the stems through processes like retting and breaking. The resulting fibers are then spun into linen yarn for textiles.
