 So after they harvest the flax for seed (used to make linseed oil) and fiber, the fiber is prepred for spinning. In the Irish farm site at the Frontier Museum there was a sheaf of flax fiber ready for spinning placed in a window. For those not aware of it, I have restarted posting old pictures over at my companion site Scanning My Life. I have to do some new scanning this weekend if it fits my schedule. | |
