Area Rugs

Revolution Mills introduces its first rug collection in May 2009. The Lennon Rug Collection is hand woven of 100% Linen.

Read the facts below to see why linen is the new standard in healthy, eco-friendly, luxury area rugs.

• LINEN is renowned for its spectacular durability and long life. The tensile strength of linen thread is twice as high as that of cotton and three times that of wool.
• LINEN is lint free and does not cause allergic reactions.
• LINEN rugs and clothing possess rare bacteriological properties. Resistant to live pathogenic micro-flora, fungus and bacteria.
• LINEN is woven from the fibers of the flax plant and is a completely natural product. Linen fiber is totally biodegradable and recyclable.
• LINEN rugs do not accumulate static electricity - even a small blend of linen fiber (up to 10%) in a rug is enough to eliminate static electricity.

Luxury

Throughout history Linen fabric has been a status symbol for purity and luxury. It has been in use for over 10,000 years.

The famous Shroud of Turin is a strip of ivory linen fabric 14 feet long, three feet seven inches wide and is thought by some to be the funeral cloth of Christ. It may be the most studied piece of cloth in history.
