Linen typically means flax fibers.

Oh, huh, TIL. I always thought it was a different way of processing cotton... but I just checked my closet and it looks like some of my stuff is a cotton/linen blend, which might be partly why I was confused. And would explain why some items wrinkle worse than others :P

In any case, both cotton and linen get the cold-water treatment from me!
