Flax Spinning

An interpreter at the Irish Farm exhibit at the Frontier Culture Museum demonstrates how to spin flax fibers into thread.

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!

[@oldchickenlady]

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

[@brightphoebus]

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

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

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

REAL RUNESCAPE WOW

[@suzanneguiho4882]

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

[@Roro82]

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

[@warhammer444444]

I WAS WATCHING RUNESCAPE --'

[@KittyKittenMittens]

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

[@susanhaney3437]

Or woven on a loom

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