The story of a flax stem
Flax has grown in our region for centuries. After harvest, the long fibres become linen and the woody heart becomes bedding.
1Late March – mid-April
Sowing
The flax is sown in rows in well-prepared soil between late March and mid-April. It grows to about a metre tall in around a hundred days.
2June
Flowering
The field turns pale blue-violet: for about a week it is covered in the typical little blue flowers. Each flower blooms for just one day.
3July
Pulling
Flax isn’t mown but pulled from the ground, roots and all, so the fibre is kept at full length. It is then laid in rows (swaths) on the field.
4A few weeks
Retting
The flax stays on the field for a few weeks to ret (dew retting). Dew, sun, rain and micro-organisms loosen the fibres from the woody stem.
5Halfway through retting
Turning
Halfway through retting, the flax is turned so both sides ret evenly.
6After retting
Rolling up
Once retting is complete and the flax is dry, it is picked up and rolled into bales.
7Autumn
Scutching
At the scutching mill, the long fibres are separated from the woody parts (shives) and the short fibres (tow). Those woody core particles are our flax shives.
8All year round
To the barn
The shives are cleaned, de-dusted and delivered in bulk as a soft, dry bed for your animals: Linogrof and Linofin.
