Short, natural flax tow fibres ideal for blending with other fibres for an effect yarn or hand spinning on their own to a strong linen yarn for weaving and summer knits. The resultant yarn is perfect for weaving into cloth for re-enactment costumes or for braiding to make accessories. The fibre can also be cut into shorter lengths and processed in a Hollander for paper making. 100g bag.
Flax fibre so closely resembles hemp that a high power microscope is needed to tell the difference!
Dye this cellulose fibre with Procion MX dyes or Indigo, or mordant with Aluminium Lactate when dyeing with Natural Dyes. It is worth bearing in mind that the flax is not white and will affect the final colour results.
