Thanks to everyone that came to our Flax to Linen demonstration at St. Norbert Market on November 5th. It was a fantastic day to process flax and share resources and education with others. We were so happy to have Natalie of Modern Medieval who spun some of our flax for us and demonstrated the next step in turning flax to linen.

Randy and Kim from Hundredfold Farm brought their new scutching board and knife and it was much better for helping remove the chaff from the flax. It really highlights the need for excellent tools (and the right amount of retting).

We are excited to offer a Flax to Linen TOOL BUILDING WORKSHOP in February 2023. We will provide the tool building plans, woodworking tools and materials list. Participants can either bring their own materials (wood) to make their own set of tools, or help make tools for our future Flax to Linen Tool Library that we would like to make available free of charge to our broader community! Watch the newsletter for details.
