After their escape from Moria, the company went through the woods of Lothlórien, which lay near the eastern gate of Khazad-Dum. This woods were inhabited by elves, related to Legolas. There they noticed Frodos chainmail first, because of curing a wound he got in the mines.
The lord and the lady of Lórien (which is a short form of the name), Celeborn and Galadriel, took them very friendly and offert them to stay for a while to recover from their wounds. It was the finest rest on their journey since Rivendell, and they stayed long in Lórien.
