1 Bleached Yarns
All yarns intended to be used white or dyed in colours are bleached. The process reduces the weight. Cotton yarn loses fully 5 per cent and linen 20 per cent when fully bleached. There are four degrees of bleaching linen yarns - quarter-bleach, half white or cream, three-quarter and full white. -
2 Linen
Cloth made of flax. The fabrication of linen in England was not carried on to any great extent before the middle of the 16th century. It was made here in the time of the Anglo-Saxons. Linen was worn as garments for wear next to the skin. In the 14th and 15th centuries much linen was imported from abroad, cloth of Lake, cloth of Rennes, cloth of Ypres and of Gaunt, being specially mentioned. The linen most commonly noticed during the Middle Ages for wear was known as " Holland," the cloth woven in that country, and the name has descended to the present day. In the reign of Charles II an act was passed for the encouragement of the manufacturing of all kinds of linen cloth and tapestry made from hemp or flax. Linen fabrics are manufactured in numerous qualities, bleached, dyed or in natural colour. The varieties of the plain weave fabrics are: - Cambrics, handkerchiefs, lawns, pillow cloth sheetings, hollands, canvas, duck dress linens, brown linens, aeroplane linens, interlinings, sailcloth, scrims, crash, roughs and dowlas. These fabrics differ considerably in setting and yarns. Fancy weave cloths comprise diapers, damasks, honeycombs, huckabacks, drills, towels, etc. All the above fabrics are imitated in cotton and many are cheapened by using cotton warp and flax weft. ———————— One of the oldest known fabrics is that made from flax yarn and called linen. The Egyptians thought linen was an emblem of purity, and used it as a wrapping for their dead. By the term linen is generally meant a medium weight cloth with plain weave, and one that takes the same standing in the linen trade as calico does in the cotton trade. -
3 Linen Yarn
Linen or flax yarn is very strong and weaves well, although it has little elasticity. It can be bleached to a snowy white (See also Flax). (See Dry and Wet Spinning). Boiled Linen Yarn has been boiled in soda lye and there is a loss in weight of from 5 to 10 per cent. Creamed Linen Yarn is first boiled, then treated with bleaching powder and the loss in weight is 10 to 12 per cent. -

5 Loom Finished Linen
This term indicates that the cloth has been made of yarns that have been bleached as much as intended prior to weaving, and that no further treatment of that nature is given to the cloth after weaving. The warp yarns are usually bleached half-white or three-quarter white and weft yarns three-quarter or full white and the finishing after weaving is cropping, damping and calendering or mangling before making-up.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Loom Finished Linen
