Linen is known to be the world’s strongest natural fiber. It is so
durable it’s even used in paper money to increase strength! It is
thicker than cotton and lasts a very long time. Linen textiles appear to
be some of the oldest in the world: their history goes back many
thousands of years. It was sometimes used as a form of currency in
ancient Egypt. Linen is a more expensive raw material than cotton, but
that’s pretty much the only con we could find.
