Linen: Fabric made from flax bast fibre is called linen. Linen fabric is shiny, smooth, durable and easy to wash. Like cotton, it wrinkles very easily, is cool, absorbent and is suitable for summer wear.

Jute: Like flax, jute is also a bast fibre. The fibres are short and lustrous but weaker than flax. The fibres are hairy and generally rough. It is used for making gunny bags and cords.
