What exactly is Irish Linen?

People often ask what exactly is Irish linen.

Irish linen is the brand name given to linen produced in Ireland.

By using modern machinery, the best quality materials, skills built up over generations, and top designers, backed by the confidence built up in the brand, we aim to give our customers a unique product that they cannot easily buy elsewhere.

To use the Irish Linen Guild logo the linen has to be manufactured in Ireland whether it is yarn or fabric. However, the raw material for the finished product does not also have to me made or grown in Ireland.Irish linen fabric must be woven or knitted in Ireland, but the yarn it uses does not have to be Irish linen for the fabric to be Irish linen.Also, if a manufacturer in another country makes fabric from Irish linen yarn it is not Irish linen fabric.Or if a spinner in another country use Irish grown flax it is not Irish linen yarn.
