Spinning flax
Friday 23 September 2022
The course will consider the properties and history of flax as a textile fibre. We will dress distaffs and spin with spindles, but if you wish to bring a wheel please do so. Everything you need will be provided, and there will be distaffs and spindles to buy. If you have your own spindle or flax strick that you want to work with please feel free to bring them. There will be books and samples to look at and plenty of help and support. Some experience of spinning is necessary. This is a fairly messy activity and an apron is recommended.
