fine linen

Elegant woven cloth

Fine linen is high-quality fabric woven from flax fibers, prized for its smoothness, durability, and lustrous finish.

The phrase appears frequently in biblical and historical contexts to signal wealth and status: clothed in purple and fine linen.

Fine linens now refers broadly to quality bedding and table textiles regardless of fiber content.
