cannot wait to see what happens next! We've become so disconnected from what we consume and where it comes from. Your videos are so fascinating 🧡

Fantastic, there were flax mills in the town where I grew up. The bleach fields were along the man made connection to the loch

amazing!....there's a estate near me in Ireland that has the original stone guard hut where someone would guard the flax when drying in the fields

There's something really nice about seeing stuff like flax all bundled up.

I’ve never heard of it called a stook, is this a Cornwall phrase? In Ireland, they were referred to as sheaves, as far as I was aware.

The way I’m planning to grow flax next year (hopefully!) and would never have thought to bundle the flax together WITH flax.

I'm really curious how much fiber you can produce on a small scale! Thank you for sharing your journey.

Wonderful!!! Can’t wait to see the future stages :-) Do you perhaps know if flax is ever used in basketry or fibre weaving in its raw form at all?
