Flax gives us two harvests from one plant. The seeds and the cloth - and yes, you can get both from the same harvest no matter what They tell you. How do I know this? Because I've been obsessing about flax for years and decided to find out what is really possible and what bits of advice are just superstition.
Spoiler alert: most of it is superstition.
Flax is way more versatile than it looks. You can get cloth from seed flax and you can get delicious seed from fibre flax.
So now you know what I've been up to all these months. A crazy adventure writing and creating a book.
There are a few days left on my Kickstarter where you can pre-order the book Homegrown Linen: transforming flaxseed into fibre at a discount.
We are hoping to have it available in stores in February.If you want to order a book or carry the book in your store, you can find me at:
