This was a brilliant demonstration, thank you so much! I have a dream to one day grow some flax of my own to make cloth from. Would growing a few square feet in my garden be enough of a harvest for personal use?

It makes me wonder... most homes from my grandmother's or great-grandmothers' generation (in Québec Canada) would have their own sheep or would grow own flax and would weave their yarn (and linen?) on their big Leclerc or Heritage (or other) loom. But, most houses back then were heated with wood stoves, which tends to make your place very dry... I'm wondering how they managed to work this out.. 😮 bucket with water on the stove, perhaps?
@CrowingHen Ай бұрын
Great question. It was a different time then. A time when housecoats were the norm - a very warm coat for wearing over your clothes. Fuel was too valuable to waste on heating the home - so if the woodstove/fire was going, there would be cooking. Usually boiled water. Accounts from that time are of people keeping ink in their inside pocket of the housecoat to stop it freezing in the winter and sleeping with the sourdough starter for the same reason. And people used to specialize. To be efferent at wool or linen production, it takes slightly different tools and techniques. Changing the tools to match the new fibre takes more time than weaving the cloth, so they avoided this whenever possible. A linen weaver would often set up their loom in a room with a dirt floor as this helped increase the moisture content. A wool weaver might not have the same needs.

When short rowing you need to use extra claw weights so you don’t drop stitches 😊😊. Hang the weights under the edges of the active needles right next to the needles on hold.
@winterrain1947 26 күн бұрын
I got annoyed trying to get the claw weights in the right spot because you have to fix them every other row. Now, the weight is my hand pulling down, readjusting for the exact right place. It's easier to feel where the weight is needed.

Maori have a faster easier way of getting the fibers than this technique, the end product is a silk like fiber that used for making traditional cloaks
@CrowingHen 3 ай бұрын
Different plant. Phormium or New Zealand flax has a large flat leaf which produces the fibre from the support structure. Unlike Linum usitatissimum, which we talk about in this video, where we extract the fibres from the stem, specifically the phloem. It's confusing because the common names both have 'flax' in them. Both plants make beautiful cloth.

Hello! Just wanted to ask, what is every distaff at 1:05 called? I have been searching for atleast the main distaff types and basically only descriptions/pictures come up, not names. Even wikipedia doesnt really say anything
@CrowingHen 3 ай бұрын
Hi there, thanks for your question. The names for different distaves vary dramatically depending on where you are and the local history. For example, the part of England where my family is from, a distaff is called a 'rock' no matter what shape. However, I do go into more detail about the names of different shapes where I live now in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIGvf4SQfJqFkMU The Big Book of Handspinning (should be available at your local library) has more details on the different shapes common in North America and some of the names used for them.
