Only one in seven Irish years produces a harvest of IRISH LINEN RELAND IS THE best country in the world in which to grow blue-flower flax; preferred by spinners and weavers because of the fineness of its fibres. Yet even in Ireland s moist, gentle climate, fax can only be harvested once in seven years The other Six years must be spent in nourishing and preparing the soil Because of this, the flax fibres ob- tained from the harvest reach an extremely high standard: Flax is Irish Linen Every harvest of blue-flower flax means a harvest of lasting, beautiful Irish Linen to grace the homes of people the world over: For centuries, the Irish people have been cultivating flax and making linen goods: Even in earliest times; Linen was recognised as the ultimate in fabrics The early Romans used linen to clothe the upper classes, and the Egyptians used nothing but linen to embalm their deceased royalty. All over the world to this day people realise the importance of linen in their lives: You may be using genuine Irish Linen at this moment You can be sure that it embodies the centuries-old skill of the Irish fax-growers and weavers artists in linen.
