Flax

Flax is another fiber that is raised on the farm. We plant it in the spring and pull it sometime around May. Processing flax into linen is very labor intense. We felt due to the history of flax it was important to try and keep the knowledge and use of linen available to others. We love the fresh clean feel of linen. I am sure you will love the linen clothing and other designs we have made for you.
