How was it made? Linen

- Linen's diverse use and dominance in Western fashion is no surprise. The rich soil and frequent rain of Northern France, Belgium and the Netherlands uniquely suit the flax plant, resulting in the highest quality flax and linen. While other countries, including China and Canada, do grow flax, the need for irrigation, fertilisers, and pesticides negates many of the plant's considerable environmental benefits. Today, the European Union grows 70% of all flax.
Linen is the original sustainable fibre - when grown in its ideal geographical zone, the cultivation of flax produces no waste. All parts of the flax plant are used: the long and short fibres and seeds are made into textiles, paper, varnish, oil, animal fodder and bio-materials. After the plants have been pulled (harvested), the root remnants fertilise and clean the soil, thereby improving the productivity of soil for 6 to 7 years. Growing flax requires no irrigation, no fertilisers and no herbicides and pesticides, and therefore does not pollute rivers or groundwater. Flax even retains 3.7 tons of CO2 per hectare per year.
From seed to fabric, sustainability characterises the production process of flax:
Sowing: growing flax takes around 100 days. When grown for its fibre, flax seeds are sown close together to encourage the plant to grow upward rather than sideways, which maximises the length of fibres.
Pulling: the plants are pulled when they are between 90 and 120 cm high. They are then gathered into bundles and dried for 2 weeks.
Retting: the retting process separates the fibres from the plant. If flax is grown in the optimal geographical location, the fibres are separated through dew-retting in which thin layers of flax are spread out across grass fields to decompose. Water-retting is undertaken in drier climates, during which process flax is submerged in pools or water streams. The rotting of the plants pollutes the water streams, thereby undoing some of flax’s green footprint. After the retting process, the flax is fully dried.
Scutching: the straw around the fibres is broken and removed.
Combing: the flax is combed to remove any remaining pieces of straw and to align the fibres.
The flax is then spun and woven into linen.

Do you want flax hair for making threads from Egypt?
The music (“Through a Looking Glass” by Philip Guyler) and the pacing makes it feel like we’re watching one of those BBC historical drama montages where, at the end, the hero, resplendent in his linen garment, drives off from his linen manufacturing plant to his country estate.
I LOVED seeing this from seed to fabric. Now I just have one problem, I want linen sheets!

@@susangunn885 thanks!
I love linen. To wear & to stitch. Thanks for the video.
Don't mix it with other fabrics when wearing!😅
oooh, it's so interesting to get a glimpse current processing methods!
Beautiful! Very nice to spark curiosity!
Judging by this music.. someone just overcame a personal flaw, saved the world, and in the end.. they got the girl.
😂
😅what
Right 🤣🤣
I love linen! It's the best fabric in the world!

My goodness!! I am blown away...✨
Sir you are an amazing artist i wish you are highly valued best wishes 🙏☮️❤️
I was quite disappointed that the creators thought that all that was needed was visuals.
I expected details on the process; I can’t believe there was NO additional information any of the workers pictured, for instance, couldn’t have offered.

Hi, there is a great video with a lot of details in another channel: ruclips.net/video/-ZrZZefkohE/видео.html
That's the new age tech for ya. Before RUclips & Audio they would have been forced to comply, but like the machines they make it on, it has made us immobile & less engaged.
Lovely music. Would be glad to know, thank you.
I love you wearing linen fabric.
❤helpful video❤
I enjoyed this video, and the music is magic. What is it?
Just brilliant I love linen 😊
Wow. What a beautiful video.
I love my linen clothing. Where I live it is the only fabric I can stand in the heat.
That was awesome! But what is it made from?
Beautiful
Would be glad to know the location of processing plant and the place where it is cultivated in abundance....
The new age way
It is cultivated in abundance in Egypt.
I would be in heaven amongst all those fabrics.
How it was done in the 1800's compared to how it is done now is just amazing.
I’m looking for a flax mill that could make linen thread for shoe making, in Portugal. Any recommendations? Thanks a lot, nice video!
I'd rather have seen how it WAS made like the title suggested.
Rodney Peters did u not watch the video?
Yes, VinnyAntoine, but it seems you did not. The video shows machinery and the modern technique of making linen. They should've called it "How is it made?".
Rodney Peters yeah this is how its made ?
Now yes, but I also clicked on the video expecting to learn about the old techniques for making linen, watching a machine do it's thing is hardly educational.
The linen was made before the video was edited and published. Therefore it's past tense. The linen *was* made.
What happened to the retting? Was that done before the bales were shipped to the factory?
Retting of the Flax straw is done after pulling (harvesting ), The two main methods are "dew" Retting where the Flax stalks are left out in the field in "Stricks" To allow the elements to naturally rot the outer bark of the stems to reveal the inner fibres. The other method is "water" retting where the sticks or bundles of Flax are submerged and weighted down in Retting ponds so that the water rots away the outer bark of the stalks. There is research in to faster methods of Retting such as "steam explosion " and the use of enzymes to accelerate the process. After Retting then scutching.
How can I open a linen manufacturer ?
linen is the most comfortable clothes in the world i kove it ❤
Hello,vamuseum.
Im a linen products seller.

Linen is my favourite food.
For anyone doing homework

Highest frequency. Seeking and shall succeed. Expand market on Importing Linen .
Awesome 👍
Beautiful!
Will we be learning stuff like this at fashioned from nature??? What will we be seeing ? I hope i enjoy it when i come and see
demonic jumpscare at the end lmao
Works for me.
Amazing innovation. Hoping they do not use glyphosate to dry the harvested crop. Although China probably does and Canada too which is a true crime against Nature and poisons humanity. Wish there was a way to find out where the flax is grown and how it is harvested. There is wide discrepancy in pricing of linen clothing and products online.

Wonderful
I wish I know the title of the song, it's so calmly
Please help. What is the music in the video playing called?
What is this song?!?

How many of you feel cheated...based on the title? I sure do
Shouldn't we give a big thanks to those who started this practice by hand before there were any machines that make us more lazy & less enthusiastic about this great tradition?
you have no idea what you're talking about

That was so mechanical. Disappointing!!!
