Old-World Methods
The yarns are woven into the fabric at a mill in southern Italy that has been in the same location for over 100 years. This mill uses absolutely no sizers or de-sizers, in fact it uses no chemicals at all throughout their production process, avoiding chemical baths that degrade the yarn's quality and inherent strength.
Produced by a Masters of Linen certified mill.
Note about long fibers
The single most important determinant of the quality of the final fabric is the length of the fibers that are spun into the yarn. While cotton fibers are very short – the longest being just under 2 inches; linen fibers are feet and even yards long. But it takes special equipment and skill to spin those long fibers, so most producers “cottonize” their fibers, meaning they chop them into 2-inch average that is handle-able by cotton producing equipment. Also, linen production always produces short fibers. Those short fibers are run on cotton equipment and the resulting fabric is 100% linen, but it is not high quality, long fiber linen.
