The difference between linen mix and cotton silk

Differences in raw materials <br>Linen is made mainly from plant stems, while cotton is made from cotton. Linen mix is ​​woven in a herringbone pattern and has thick threads, so it has a slightly more voluminous feel than cotton silk.

Differences in texture <br> Linen mix feels a little stiff at first because the thread itself is thick, but it becomes soft and comfortable against the skin as you use it. Cotton silk is a plain weave with thin threads and a soft texture, making it the lightest material for stole.

Differences in quick-drying properties<br>Linen mix is ​​a very breathable material. It dries quickly because the fibers are hollow. Cotton silk does not dry as quickly as linen. It takes time for water to evaporate after absorbing it.
