Woven fabrics of flax

cpc code 26560 covers the production of woven fabrics made from flax, a natural fiber derived from the flax plant. Flax fabrics have a long history, dating back thousands of years, and are prized for their strength, durability, and unique luster. The flax weaving industry plays a significant role in the global textile market, providing raw materials for a wide range of applications, from high-end fashion to industrial textiles.

The production of woven fabrics of flax involves several key steps. First, the flax fibers are harvested, retted (a process that separates the fibers from the plant's woody stem), and then spun into yarn. The yarn is then woven into a fabric using specialized looms, which can create a variety of weave patterns and textures. Finally, the woven fabric may undergo additional finishing processes, such as bleaching, dyeing, or printing, to enhance its appearance and properties.

The primary input for the production of woven fabrics of flax is, of course, the flax fiber itself. Flax is typically grown in temperate climates and requires specific soil and environmental conditions for optimal cultivation. In addition to the raw flax material, the industry also relies on various machinery and equipment, such as spinning frames, looms, and finishing equipment, as well as supporting resources like energy, water, and labor.

The primary output of the woven fabrics of flax industry is, naturally, the woven fabric itself. These fabrics can be used in a wide range of applications, including 26570 Clothing, 26580 Home textiles, and 26590 Technical textiles. The flax fabrics produced under cpc code 26560 may also be used as inputs for other textile-related industries, such as 26620 Manufacture of carpets and rugs and 26630 Manufacture of cordage, rope, twine and netting.
