Linen is a material that comes directly from a beautiful plant called flax, cultivated since antiquity for its many qualities that are being rediscovered today. In addition to the legendary strength of linen fibres are appreciated for their length and fineness. Items made with them have an attractive, natural look and rustic character. Additionally, linen cord is biodegradable, has high mechanical resistance, is difficult to burn, and withstands abrasion and moisture well. To make this cord suitable for food contact, several natural linen threads are assembled and then twisted in the opposite direction to the original twist of each thread. This La Cordeline cord has a natural ecru colour and a slightly rough texture.

It has great versatility: use in the kitchen, of course, for sewing up stuffed poultry, trussing roasts and paupiettes, or for preparing cured meats (ham, dried sausages...), or drying herbs. It is also used in gardening to tie all types of plants, in floral art, in crafts, for DIY projects, in decoration, for gift wrapping, for creative hobbies (crochet, knitting, macramé), for sewing strong seams, and even in upholstery. It can be cut with scissors, a sharp knife or a cutter. 

Approximate length 110m (361ft), diameter 1mm (0in).
