Linen is produced from fibers of a flax which is a commonly known cultivated plant. Linen, like wool, is largely used material for clothes but the process to make serviceable linen is more laborious than in the case of wool. For the wealthy this is no problem since there is also imported linen in the UnReal World.
Linen clothes are very comfortable. The more you wear a specific linen garment the softer and more comfortable it will become. You'll also feel cool in a linen garment when the weather is hot but still it will keep you warm when it's cold.

Linen is a type of material used for clothing and yarn. Linen clothing is derived from this material. Like many textiles, in reality linen has been used for thousands of years for its strength and absorbency.

Availability

Linen clothing cannot be made by player characters, but can be bartered for when trading. Additionally, linen yarn can be purchased or made with textilecraft by the player character from fibres of flax .

Uses

As clothing, linen is light but strong, and is often used as comfortable general clothing and under armour. It is not suitable for winter or battle on its own, but can easily compliment many other wearables in most situations.
