Linen yarn is spun from the long fibers found just behind the bark in the multi-layer stem of the flax plant. In order to retrieve the fibers from the plant, the woody stem and the inner pith, which holds the fibers together in a clump, must be rotted away.
The cellulose fiber from the stem is spinnable and is used in the production of linen thread.
