Pete McWade ~ All About Flax: an Amazing Natural Fiber
Pete's presentation about flax and his journey towards growing and producing his own linen shirt was extremely interesting. Pete is very knowledgeable about flax and how to grow it in our area. He is also a collector of antique flax from Europe and brought samples to pass around. He demonstrated spinning flax on his lovely Saxony spinning wheel and his own distaff creation. Those interested in growing flax took home seed packets to plant.
Check out Pete's resources below. More, including a link to the recorded presentation, are included in a special members-only email.
Thank you, Pete!
