About NorthLinen

NorthLinen is a reference covering the care and responsible disposal of natural textiles — wool, linen, cotton, and silk — with particular attention to the practical realities of Canadian households and Canada's growing network of textile collection and recycling infrastructure.

The content here focuses on three connected areas: how natural fibres behave during washing and drying, what repair techniques extend garment life before disposal becomes necessary, and which donation and recycling channels are available in different provinces.

Articles are written with specificity rather than generality. Guidance that says "wash gently" without defining temperature, detergent type, or agitation level is not useful. The aim is to provide information grounded enough to change actual household practice.
