Stonewashed linen - what is it?

Washed linen has a characteristic pastel or slightly faded color. It is a perfectly insulating and breathable material. The linen washing process increases the softness and elasticity of the fabric by loosening the weave and softening the hard fibers. It's great for traditional, rustic or vintage clothing designs, but has many other industrial uses as well.
