DRYING FLAX...
#AbFav_SUMMER_☀️
Flax (Linum usitatissimum), also known as common flax or linseed, is a member of the genus Linum in the family Linaceae.
It is a food and fiber crop cultivated in cooler regions of the world.
For centuries, flax has been grown and transformed into linen fabrics throughout Flanders, the westernmost region of Belgium, known since the Renaissance for its prosperity and culture.
The climate and soil of the region, interlaced with many small rivers, have made it ideal for linen production.
In the beginning, flax was an ancillary crop, grown to be woven during the long winter months while farmers waited for the next growing cycle to begin.
Drying the fax is an important phase of the process.
Have a wonderful day and thank you for your visit, Magda (*_*)
