Sun is showing up its power and baking the earth with his heat, the temperature is going high and high day by day. To deal with this hottest summer, we have to be very careful starting from in taking food and fluids to the outfits we wear along with a proper skin care regime. Today I came up with the Fabric "LINEN", which gives breathable feeling by cooling down the body temperature and helps you to enjoy the hot summer.
Linen Sarees for this Summer
This year Summer not only comes the with the highest temperature in last 10 year but also with a lot of wedding muhurtas Everyone would love to wear Kanjeevaram or heavy work fancy sarees to sparkle in the weddings but carrying those fabrics with jewelry in this hot season is like a hell like a punishment. So these Linen sarees with Zari resembles these Kanjeevaram looks and richness.
In olden days, Pure Linen was coming in heavy and thick fabric since it was made with seeds, fiber, yarns and with very limited colors like white, half white and grey. But Nowadays the fabric is available in feather light and with lot more beautiful color combinations to attract everyone. These organic Linen outfits are comfortable, more durable than cotton and its the best option for this summer outdoor events, pre-wedding events and it can be used for both casual and office wear.
Is Linen different from Cotton??
Yes. Linen fibers are thicker & long compared to cotton fibers. Linen has more luster than cotton. ... Both cotton and linen fiber is made up of cellulose but they are quite different in terms of several properties:
1. Cotton is a seed fiber whereas linen is extracted from flax plant which is a bast fiber.
2. Linen fabrics are environment-friendly compared to cotton.
3. Both are extremely breathable and absorbent. but, cotton does not share the property of Linen'smoisture wicking.
4. The durability of Linen is more compared to cotton.
