Flax is an annual plant cultivated originally in Asia. It is grown for its seed and fibre in temperate and cold regions. Of the 150 species existing, there is only one Linum usitatissimum which produces a fibre that is commercially useful. The fibre is obtained from the stem and is of great importance in the textile industry. In the paper industry, it is used to make high-quality papers that are strong and dense, permanent, thin and translucent. It is used in legal documents, bibles, cigarette paper and banknotes.p> It produces long strong fibres that are ideal for artistic work and when well-refined can be apt for three-dimensional work.
