Just to show you how my friend spins the flax/linen thread that I will be using, I found this video:
note: this isn’t my friend spinning. I will be starting to lace with the thread on the project during lunch today. More later!!
teacher training college? Was it specific courses for an area of teaching or part of the normal course? GOSH…..wish they would teach the finer arts like this to teachers everywhere in the US. Then we wouldn’t hear the dreaded “lost art” comment 24/7.
Gosh, memories!! I did flax spinning when I was at teacher training college. Long, long fibres and wet hands are what I remember. Lovely to weave, though. I’ve still got my linen mat I made – somewhere!!!
