Health Side-Benefits of Linen
Posted by: linenkids on: November 11, 2009
Since early times, linen has been reputed to possess curative properties. The word flax meant “being most useful” in Latin. I was happy to know that linen has been scientifically proven to have healing properties by the present-day studies. I would like to share with you the information I got about health side benefits of linen with LinenKids, enjoy reading!
Have you ever noticed that linen is exclusively used in operating rooms? I was amazed to know that linen is the only natural material utilized for internal sutures in a surgical setting. Flax cell is highly compatible with the human cell thereby producing a benevolent effect on the human organism. The human cell is capable to completely dissolve the flax cell. This is why linen fabric is used in surgery for internal sutures. Interesting, right? Read even more health side benefits of linen.
This tip may be interesting for you. Many individuals have testified that their healing was rapid when wearing linen. Post injury or surgical pain was substantially reduced (without the use of prescription or over the counter drugs) when using linen bandages and wearing linen clothing.
I’ve also heard of cancer patients being wrapped in linen as a treatment therapy. Since linen has the highest energy vibration of any natural fabric, this makes perfect sense. When your body is surrounded by linen fabric, you may notice its uplifting effect. I feel it! Try linen clothes and you!
Another thing I have never heard before about linen fiber. It reduces solar gamma radiation nearly by half and protects the human organism against solar radiation. Flax fiber from contaminated soils appears not to exhibit even traces of radiation.
I love the feeling of relaxation and calm, but sometimes our muscular and nervous systems are in tense. Unfortunately we cannot enjoy massage each day. Here linen clothes can be useful. Some time ago I noticed that linen has massaging properties owing to the microscopic breaks which the fabric possesses. Wearing linen I can feel a light massaging effect, favorably stimulating blood-flow and promoting relaxation. This is how linen favorably influences our cardio-vascular, nervous and muscular systems. What a great fabric is linen!
So many times I was wondering if our clothes could breathe. Many fabrics are not breathable, but linen possesses high air permeability and heat. The heat conductivity of linen is 5 times higher than wool and 19 times than silk. Why this is important you may ask. The answer is that in hot weather, people dressed in linen clothing are found to have a lower skin temperature than others wearing silk or cotton garments. One more thing was interesting to me – according to some studies, a person wearing linen clothes perspires 1.5 times less than when dressed in cotton clothes, and twice less than when dressed in viscose clothes. Meanwhile, in cold weather, linen works in reverse, proving ideal for retaining warmth. I love Linen Kids Clothes, because they can feel comfortable in hot summer days and chilly winter evenings.

New beautiful fabric on LinenKids – Boiled wool

Have you ever heard about boiled wool? I have already seen clothes made of boiled wool and i can tell you, they are more than beautiful. LinenKids winter collection has quite a few items for kids made of boiled wool.
Boiled wool is a special type of fabric. LinenKids has used it for girls and boys clothing such as dresses, sweaters and vests. Boiled wool is created using a mechanical knitting process which involves a set pattern that is then shrunk.
Have you already seen Hand Felted Accessories on LinenKids? Hope you like them. Actually wool felt and felted wool are similar to boiled wool, all of these processes date back to the Middle Ages and even before that. I was impressed to know that the word felting comes from the High Old German (a language spoken before the 12th century) word “filz”. Wool felt is created commercially and results in uniform fabric thickness. Felted wool is created by first weaving wool to create an item then washing it, resulting in a solid, dense fabric that is about 30% smaller than the original woven material. Boiled wool is produced industrially and is characteristic to Austria and South America. After very large woven sheets of wool fabric are dyed (or not) and have a design on them, they are boiled and shrunk without the use of any chemicals. Because of this and other factors, boiled wool is very warm and usually does not itch, this is so important for kids clothing.
Have you ever tried Boiled wool items? Do you like them?
Linen Academy 5: Anti-bacterial Linen
Posted by: linenkids on: October 29, 2009
Have you ever suffered form various allergies? One thing you should know about linen – the use of linen does not cause any allergies and eliminates many kinds of irritations on the skin. What is more linen is hygienic, this quality helps to decrease some skin diseases – from common rashes to chronic eczemas. This is why I love linen kids clothes – they are suitable for kids even with the most sensitive skin. This is why I recommend this Linen Pyjamas, no more allergies when wearing linen items even when sleeping.
Some news from Japanese researchers, studies have shown that bed-ridden patients do not develop bedsores where linen bed sheets are used. Linen naturally suppresses live pathogenic micro flora, bacteria and fungi flax is found to be an effective barrier to some diseases.
For any individual desiring to regain and maintain health, the best recommendation – dating all the way back to The Bible itself – is to wear linen.
Linen Academy 4: Ecological linen
Posted by: linenkids on: October 27, 2009
Linen is well known environment friendly fabric. When you choose linen over cotton, you’re helping the planet because flax (the crop from which linen is derived) requires less water than cotton to grow, requires fewer other resources, and all the flax by-products are put to good use. Just take a look at this amazing flax field and read more about environment friendly sides of linen.
One more thing about linen, it is not necessarily needed to be dyed since it performs beautiful shades of natural colors. Finally, linen products do not need to be finished in any chemical methods so you can boldly dress your child in environment friendly Linen Kids Clothes from LinenKids.
I do love to dress my kids in linen clothes, to sustain the planet. But there is more ways to create healthy and eco friendly environment for your child – linen kids toys.
Just take a look at this amazing Linen Bear Teddy. I do love to see my kids playing with healthy and natural toys. What about you?
Linen Academy 3: Hard and long lasting linen fiber
Posted by: linenkids on: October 22, 2009
Linen is renowned for its spectacular durability and long life. I do have my mom‘s linen dress and it still looks amazing. One reason why that old linen dress still looks like new is that linen resists dirt and doesn’t develop a furry texture. This will be interesting for you linen fabric’s durability and the high density give Linen at least twice the life of cotton. This is why I recommend you Boys Linen Suit for your little one. Take a look at its unique design and do not forget that this suit is durable as it is linen.
And do not worry about stains on this suit. Linen and linen-containing articles are easily laundered in hot water, may be boiled and dried in the sun, besides they may be hot-ironed. If you are willing to know more about linen care I invite you to read my blog post Linen Care Tips.
I believe you have already noticed that linen has a smooth surface and mat luster, which feels pleasant to the touch. But do not be afraid to wash linen items. Linen is long lasting fiber and the more you wash linen the softer and smoother it becomes.

30 days of LinenKids, day 10: Woollen Cap and Scarf Knitted Set
Posted by: linenkids on: October 16, 2009
The first snow has fallen in Lithuania! You may not believe me, but it was snowing in Europe in the middle of Autumn. This trick of nature made me think that winter is coming so fast and it is time to look for warmer clothes. Especially for warm outdoor kids clothing as children love playing outside.
Severe wind and cool weather made me look for warm Woolen Cap and Scarf Set. I am always looking for unique accessories for kids as I am bored of all these mass produced items and this is what I found - Woollen Cap and Scarf Knitted Set Sheep Off White
Just take a look at these wonderful hand crafted Sheep applique and embroidery! They make this cap and scarf look so different! But lovely looking item is not enough, I decided to share this Woollen Cap and Scarf Knitted Set Sheep Off White with you because it is not just beautiful and warm. This item is healthy, as it made of 100% natural wool, which will warm your baby up.
Looking for caps and scarfs i found one interesting thing about wool. The real genius of the wool fiber lies in its ability to cope with the high humidity that your child can get during rainstorms or at other times. Wool is a single fiber, which can slurp up to 30 percent of its own weight in moisture without feeling wet. This is so cool!
I have already decided, this set will be a perfect gift idea for my child. Christmas are still far away, but I am already looking for exclusive Christmas presents and this one looks just perfect for my child!
Linen Academy 2: Antistatic Properties of flax
Posted by: linenkids on: October 14, 2009
Welcome to Linen Academy 2! Hope our first lecture was interesting to you. Let me share even more information about linen.
I do not like when clothes become electric static, this is why linen clothes are my favorite.Talking about kids this is even more important as comfort is the main thing I consider when choosing kids clothes.
Linen clothes does not accumulate static electricity – even a small addition of flax fibers (up to 10%) to a cloth is enough to eliminate the static electricity effect creating a microclimate of enhanced comfort. No more worries about electric static clothes when wearing linen.
Maybe you are looking for antistatic dress for your little girl? I could recommend this Ladybird Linen Dress
As I just mentioned, linen fabric does not accumulate static electricity, this is why your girl will feel absolutely comfortable with this dress. What is more, unique design, simplicity and elegance fascinated me. Tell me what do you think about this dress.
