A commitment to maintain Linen Tradition
Ideally located in the middle of the linen fields area of Western Europe, Safilin is well known for the production and sale of its pure or blended Linen or Hemp yarns.
Linen fibre is extracted from a plant (textile Linen), which is mainly farmed in Western Europe, in the littoral area from Caen (France) to Rotterdam (The Nederlands).
70 % of World Linen is produced in France. This is where Safilin chooses the best fibre lots in each crop, in order to spin a unique and faultless linen yarn.
