I like to choose gifts for my loved ones and friends. Gift must be made from the heart at first. I decided to give parents an anniversary set of bed linen, because it is a gift that is intended for both of them. Bed linen is always necessary and useful thing. I decided to buy linen satin. Bedding implies a single set of woven fabrics. Usually it is a blanket, sheet, and pillowcase. One standard set usually includes 1 duvet cover, 1 sheet and 2 pillowcases. All linen is divided into several categories, depending on the size of the mattress, pillows and blankets, and sometimes single and double. Usually, fabrics for bedding are cotton, linen, silk and satin. Flax is the most ancient material shows good thermal conductivity and hydrophilic, an unusually high strength and resistance to stretching. Linen fabrics have a smooth surface and therefore little susceptible to contamination, easily erased. All these qualities are, of course, distinguish and flax linen. Egypt is the birthplace of flax. Linen quickly crumpled in contrast to the satin. Cotton is also known for a long time. It is the fiber of vegetable origin, obtained from the cotton bolls. Cotton is a soft, natural fabric. Cotton is a thin, short, soft fluffy fiber. Several fibers twisted around its axis. For cotton is characterized by relatively high strength, chemical stability (a long time he is not destroyed by water and light), heat (130-140 ° C), the average water absorption (18-20%) and a small fraction of the elastic deformation, resulting products of cotton heavily crushed. Resistance to abrasion of cotton is low in contrast to satin. Silk is also used for sewing linen. Silk (natural) is a product of life for silkworms. Silk was not immediately used for the manufacture of linens: silk fabrics known in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece rather late, as in ancient Rome - to the I century AD. Silk is soft tissue of the strands, extracted from silkworm cocoons. Originally silk came from China and was an important commodity that is delivered to Europe via the Silk Road. Silk is very durable fabric. Sets of bedding made of natural silk quite expensive. Linen silk is considered a luxury item. I have long opted for bed linen. Yet I decided to buy linen satin. I packed it in a beautiful package, and, besides, bought a big bouquet of flowers. Parents were pleased with my gift. Mom thanked me, kissed and gave a huge hug.
