Linen bag

Linen is a real all-rounder as a fabric, in the kitchen and bathroom, as clothing or home textiles. Compared to cotton, the plant is downright undemanding, it grows in the temperate climate of Europe, requires only as much water as the rain provides, and needs neither fertilizer nor chemicals. It was the basis for European textile regions, because until cotton conquered the whole of Europe, linen was primarily processed alongside new wool.
By nature, linen is antistatic and does not attract dust. The hard-wearing fibers have a very smooth surface to which dirt and bacteria hardly adhere, making linen fabrics less susceptible to dirt and easy to clean. Linen can also absorb a lot of moisture, but also dissipates it very quickly. For storage purposes, this is ideal.

Our multifunction bags are made of European linen. The Upper Austrian Leinenweberei Vieböck processes the yarn on special looms into so-called leno fabric, an air-permeable, transparent fabric whose weave resembles that of gauze and was therefore often used for curtains or cheesecloths in the past. The special feature is the warp threads: after each weft thread, two warp threads twist around each other. This results in a very open and at the same time push-resistant fabric, which means that the individual threads each keep their distance from each other and no holes can appear. There is basically no better material for buying and storing food: it is light, breathable and brings all the advantages of linen. For example, flax contains linseed oil and is free of animal protein, therefore resistant to mold: the fibers can absorb and release moisture without damage. Moreover, you can wash the linen bags frequently and even boil them if necessary. Usually, however, a washing temperature of 60 ° C is sufficient.
