Can I watch without all the noise!!.

Awesome so laborious. So many hours needed to make enough thread to make an adequate amount of fabric. We take this for granted nowadays.

Would you tell me about retting process of Falx which retting process is better for flax!

Oh, this is so funny! I worked at the Scots-Irish Farm at the Frontier Culture Museum many years ago, back when the German Farm was still under construction. I learned how to process flax there. I was just on Ravelry, trying to explain the process to somebody, and I remembered a video (not this one, as it turns out). I turned to RUclips to find and, and what's the first one that comes up? The Frontier Culture Museum!

Isn’t the wheel suppose to go counter clockwise in the spinning of flax?

Got here after asking, "What fishing line was used before polymers?" and "fishing lines of the 1800's"

You can also knit linen. I've made a few doilies with it.

that was an excellent video....it made me miss my time teaching at a living history farm

So that's how process them flax.....

How did this even happen? Some random person: "Hey, look at the plant growing there. I'll bet that if i dry it, let it rot, beat the hell out of it, beat it again, drag it through the iron spikes of hell, I'll be able to make thread and weave it into cloth."

Thamks for uploading this video :)

#Runescape lool

How did they get the flax seeds out and what did they do with them? Thanks.

Thanks for interesting and visually rich story. This is great science.

This is amazing!

Modern women, y u no know this shit?

Very brave, people lost touch with the past and that linen looked fit for hair ! :D

Amazing thank you for sharing this! I have a question. I heard one woman say that the flax had to be harvested before the seeds formed? Is that true?

To turn that ball into a shirt it would be knited or crocheted into something.

Then after the thread is made, what is next to turn that ball into a shirt?

Thanks for the video. I really found it helpful.

REAL RUNESCAPE WOW

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'.

irl runescape

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

@Khoruthedude LOL if she was playing RS instead of doing this IRL she would have about 10 mill instead of fourty-five cents. xD

I WAS WATCHING RUNESCAPE --'

Looks like some good stress relief. Take it all out on the flax!

thanks

Very interested in this subject. Would love to grow my own flax and spin it myself. Very informative. Thankyou.

Can't believe I live so close and I've never visited! Thanks for the vid!

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!

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

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. :)

Wonderful! Thank you so much for providing this excellent video.
