Flax or linseed is an amazing multipurpose plant. In this video I show how I grow a small patch of flax. We can follow along until the "retting", which is the first stage in the process of making fibers for thread/yarn or rope. I hope to continue with that entire process in a later videos.

One day I went to a heritage museum close to where I live. They had a flax field there and the equipment to process it. It was mostly for decorative purposes but I was playing around with it and got so hooked that I spent an entire day in that one barn, processing flax until I had a little over a meter of hand-made rope. processed from the field just outside the barn. I am a handyman, with experience in various crafts, but that experience changed my mind completely.

I am from a small town in the Netherlands that grew quite a lot because of the flax produced there. That's quite a long time ago though, I've never seen it but we have a few streets named after the several processes, which funnily enough sound similar to the english words.

Really nice! I tryied it too some years ago. The flax grew, and I could harvest it without problems. I kept the seeds to munch on and for future seeding, and tried to make linen out of it. But I didn't let it ret for long enough unfortunately, and I couldn't have any usable fibers. You made me want to try again this year! Thank you for posting your nice videos.

Might be time to plant a bigger crop for the Torbjorn Brand linseed oil :) Back when I lived out in cotton growing country here in Australia we called the de-seeding process 'Scutching' before it goes into the rollers to be broken down for fibre extraction. Not sure if that applies for flax but its a pretty cool little plant for what it provides

@abittwisted

@@kevinmartin7760 Rippling is what it is called when you remove the seed pods from the flax plant. Scutching is when you take the fiber after it is broken and whack it with a wood knife against a flat board held upright to knock out more of the inner core of the flax plant to separate the fiber from the chaff or core. Sometimes called boon. It helps prepare the fiber for hackling which is the final step before spinning. I have been growing and harvesting, processing and spinning flax for 4 years now.

The difference between oilseed and fiber flax varieties is how much the plants branch when growing. You want a single stem for making into fiber, but it's more productive when the plant has the opportunity to branch out more.
