The Lightweight Go-To: Linen

The term “linens” is still often used to describe a group of woven materials for bed, bath, and tabletop traditionally made from linen. Linen textiles also appear to be some of the oldest in the world, dating all the way back to ancient Egypt where linen was not only used as currency but as material for mummification and burial shrouds. It was a symbol of light and purity, and as a display of wealth.
