In 2020 the Pembina Fibreshed launched its first Flax to Linen project. The goal was to grow fibre flax varieties in small community plots throughout the region to explore the viability of growing flax and processing linen locally.

Shannon Bahuaud participated, and documented the project as part of her masters thesis. The result of this documentation is this beautiful book.

Part reflection from the various community participants, and part instruction for small-scale flax production, the book highlights the hopes and challenges of creating a local fibre economy.

This is a PRE-SALE of the book that will be released in late April.

The book is 8.5” x 11” and printed on post consumer waste paper

Approx. 120 pages

Beautifully illustrated with full colour photos.

Any profit generated from the sale of this book will support the programs and projects of the Pembina Fibreshed.
