Linen has a small ecological footprint. The environmental impact of making linen is low. The flax plant is a crop that is harvested after 100 days and then completely processed into linen. Flax absorbs a lot of CO2 and does not need fertilizers and pesticides. The whole plant is used. The linseed for oil, food and cosmetics and oil, the fibers for linen fabrics, rope and paper. The rest is for animal feed because it is very high in protein. Zero-waste par excellence. The flax plant needs little water. In fact, rainwater alone is enough to grow flax. The flax plant also does not like pesticides, weed killers or chemical fertilizers. This makes linen of high quality and free of nasty chemicals and pesticides. By Mölle linen curtains are of the highest quality because the fabric is traditionally woven from the finest flax that grows on the European coast. Flax is an annual plant that grows to a height of about 1 meter. Flax usually blooms in June and July. The color of the flowers can vary from light blue to dark purple and bees and other insects like to come to them. After flowering, the flax is harvested for the fiber in the stems, which are used to make linen.

Flax is a typical European plant and has been grown here for textiles for 5000 years. Flax linen from Europe is considered the best in the world. The best quality flax grows in the coastal areas of Western Europe. The process from flax plant to linen is an environmentally friendly process. The traditional craft from harvesting to spinning and weaving is still done according to ancient methods. Linen is more expensive because the production process is very labor intensive and takes more time and work than other textiles. The fiber of linen is thicker and often longer than the cotton fiber.
