A short video showing the steps involved in processing flax into fiber/cloth.

Interesting but this is NOT THE WHOLE PROCESS, just a small bit. I watched a video from casting the flax flower seed and ALL THE STEPS leading up to looming. Tremendously labor intensive ALL THE WAY THRU.
This gal is doing a great job in showing just these 3 steps !

I've been watching several videos on this subject and really considering planting some flax next year and giving this a shot. I've also been considering cotton.
Love the video! Thanks!

I can see why there are fairy tales about spinning gold. It got so smooth and shiny, the flax looks almost like blonde hair 😊

[Indigogingerkat]

watched another video, somewhat from start to finish...and the gratitude THAT I MYSELF experienced, was amazing...this is just beautiful to me, even the intense labor ❤️

[Noob-gggj]

I would love to see how you spin the flax. Maybe you can do that in a video, but not a short one.

[Blackwing-qt]

This is only half the process.. it takes quite a bit of work to get to that first step

[yvonnemariane]

Gorgeous. Gosh, no need for real-hair wigs?

Pretty much everyone had arthritis by the age of 12

[SKULLkidDEATHOMATIC]

Yeah... not all of it. I'm looking from field to fabric

These short videos are nice, but put together something of substance. Take some time to make a better effort and a teaching tool. String these shorts together and make a film, rather than just a couple minutes here and there.

Not that I’ve seent it.
Will someone tell me what the hell flax is?
