Flax fibres are the bast fibers of the flax plant, which is also grown in Flanders and the Netherlands.
Flax was extensively cultivated in ancient Egypt, where the temple walls had paintings of flowering flax and mummies were entombed in linen. Egyptian priests only wore linen, as flax was considered a symbol of purity.
Flanders became the major center of the linen industry in the European Middle Ages.
The textiles made from flax are known in the West as linen, and traditionally used for bed sheets, underclothes and table linen.
