Question from sue
Hi,
I’m thinking of buying linen bedding. They are pretty expensive so buying them organic is not possible for me. I do buy organic sheets otherwise. My question is if you may know if they are free of chemicals? I’m looking into buying them from H&M as they are well priced. I will try to get info from them but I wondering if anyone here would know about Linen Bedding as well.
Thank You!!!

I did a wonderful interview on Toxic Free Talk Radio with Tricia Rose, Founder of Rough Linen. On this show she talks about how linen is grown.
Here is another good article about linen production: How Products Are Made: Linen
Some chemicals may be used, such as herbicides, but much of the linen supply is still produced by traditional methods that don’t involve chemicals. This is not usually labeled.
In general, though, fewer chemicals are involved in the production of linen than cotton.
