This is the Group that gave me the flax seeds. I think I'd be good at "Heckling"...........and "spinning a yarn". Big Grin

Llieinwe - Flax to Linen exhibition is now up at Waterloo Tea in Whitchurch Road, Cardiff. Produced by the Making n Mending Club who meet at Global Gardens project.
You can see the whole process of making linen from flax, which has been grown by the group at the gardens and St Fagan’s museum of Welsh Life. We’ve been growing flax and learning to make this beautiful fibre for three years and are about to plant our fourth season. There’s our first little piece of hand spun, hand woven linen on display made by member Amber, we are so grateful! Also showing beautiful embroidery, naturally dyed linen cloth and lino prints (lino is made from flax seed oil!)
On Easter Monday, we’ll be showing flax and the process at the museum, 11-3 in Kennixton barn. Call in and have a go at rippling, heckling and spinning! We’ll have seed you can take away to  join in with growing and making local, sustainable fibre.
