Preparing Flax Strick and Spinning Linen

In the class that I took with Celia Quinn, I learned what to do to spin linen.


Celia walked the class through preparing the flax strick and spinning the flax off a distaff into linen.


She had a cool portable distaff that broke down like tinker toys and we all took turns spinning with it.


Here are the steps I recorded on spinning flax into linen.
