Thank you. I was researching my family tree in the Netherlands and one was a Vlashandelaar (Flax dealer) in the late nineteenth century. I understand a lot more now. Obviously this is where we get the saying 'flaxen haired'.
Linen products are easy to store, they can withstand temperature differentials and the toughest washings, which make them even softer, whiter, and more clinging to the body.
Great video! thank you for sharing the process. I haven't worked with flax much. I bougt some flax for spinning recently. Your videos just brought it full circle for me. Thanks!
This is a great series! I am a spinner but haven't worked much with flax yet. The process is fascinating and it was awesome to see how it all works in real life as opposed to pictures in a book. I think we found a brake in our old barn at my parents' house! Guess I'll have to go check now. :)
Thanks for the video. I really found it helpful.

And this children, is how we made hair for our dolls back in the old days (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

Where do those stick-like things come from? Are they the stems that run down the middle of the flax leaves?
