linen
Crisp bedsheet fabric
Linen is fabric woven from flax fibers, prized for its coolness and durability.
By extension, linen refers to household items traditionally made from it—sheets, tablecloths, napkins: She stored the table linens in the sideboard.
The phrase wash your dirty linen in public means to air private matters openly.
Linen also describes the fabric's characteristic pale beige color.
