Making linen from flax has been a important economic activity in Brittany.Learning about all the steps between the plant and the fabric makes you hesitate about starting. And yet, fibers are- very thin,- very even,- very solid. |
Uses
- I started with the bracelets test, as I usually do when I get fibers. I rapidly understood that these two ones
, were resisting anything. I had to wear them continuously during one entire in order to break them. - With the same technique, more length makes a necklace
for my stone pendant.Adjustable length with a hand-shaped piece of bee wax. The end knot of the necklace is just a security system. - Super thin fibers are ideal to make wicks
for candles. No need for the weaving to be perfect ; )
