Linen.
Linen is the fabric used to make thread and rope. It is used for both of these items due to its immense durability and strength. Somewhat similarly to another fabric, cotton, linen is highly absorbent, but differs in strength, as it can be seen up to three times stronger than cotton. Why does linen have a tendency to wrinkle so easily? It’s made from the flax plant, which has stiff cellulose fibres. These don't have as much elasticity as other fabrics, and so don't bounce back into shape once the fabric is folded or creased.
