iORGANIC KNIT LINEN<br />

Linen is the strongest vegetable fiber, two to three times stronger than cotton. This hypoallergenic fiber resists<br />

moths, dirt and stains which increases its life cycle, while being almost lint free, non-static, naturally<br />

insect-repellent and provides UV protection. Linen is highly absorbent and a good conductor of heat; in winter it<br />

keeps the heat in, while during the summer it is cooling by quickly removing perspiration from the skin. Linen has<br />

a beautiful natural sheen that other cellulose fibers cannot match. TUR is using organic linen knit which will result<br />

in our clothing being looser, softer and more flexible compared to linen woven fabric. TUR 's organic linen knit tee<br />

also has a tight weave which makes the clothing less shear and will prolong the wear. Linens comes from flax, which<br />

needs far less water and almost no pesticides to cultivate when harvesting; the plant grows best in cool, damp<br />

conditions and does well on relatively poor soil. Not only does this save money when prepping the land but there is<br />

a lower chance of farming failure when harvesting.<br />
