“From Flax to Fiber” An Overview of Belgian Linen
This presentation will be an overview of the process of turning flax into fiber, then fabric, becoming the textile we know as linen. It aims to explain the process of bringing linen from the farms of Flanders to the furnishings of our homes; why and how linen translates from traditional to modern design styles and products so easily.
It will discuss in detail the complexity of the process of growing (highlighting organic methods versus conventional growing), harvesting, retting, scutching & hackling, spinning, creating a warp beam, weaving, finishing and dyeing, and types of certifications. We will review how the generations of expertise and cultural knowledge of the Belgian artisans, especially known for their linen production, have enabled Belgian Linen’s widespread reputation of high quality.
