Flax Processing

1. So that's how process them flax.....
2. How did this even happen?
   Some random person: "Hey, look at the plant growing there. I'll bet that if i dry it, let it rot, beat the hell out of it, beat it again, drag it through the iron spikes of hell, I'll be able to make thread and weave it into cloth."
3. Thamks for uploading this video :)

5. How did they get the flax seeds out and what did they do with them?  Thanks.
6. Thanks for interesting and visually rich story. This is great science. 
7. This is amazing! 
8. Very brave, people lost touch with the past and that linen looked fit for hair ! :D
9. Amazing thank you for sharing this! I have a question. I heard one woman say that the flax had to be harvested before the seeds formed? Is that true?
10. Thanks for the video. I really found it helpful.
11. Thank you. I was researching my family tree in the Netherlands and one was a Vlashandelaar (Flax dealer) in the late nineteenth century. I understand a lot more now. Obviously this is where we get the saying 'flaxen haired'.
12. And this children, is how we made hair for our dolls back in the old days (sorry, I couldn't help myself).
13. Looks like some good stress relief. Take it all out on the flax!
14. thanks
15. Great video! thank you for sharing the process. I haven't worked with flax much. I bougt some flax for spinning recently. Your videos just brought it full circle for me. Thanks!
16. Where do those stick-like things come from? Are they the stems that run down the middle of the flax leaves?
17. This is a great series! I am a spinner but haven't worked much with flax yet. The process is fascinating and it was awesome to see how it all works in real life as opposed to pictures in a book. I think we found a brake in our old barn at my parents' house! Guess I'll have to go check now. :)
18. Wonderful! Thank you so much for providing this excellent video.
