  1. Flax

    Share Share Post
    Everybody grew flax in olden times. It was sown in April in the same manner as oats is sown. When it is pulled it is put into water and it is covered with flags and it is left there for three weeks. Then it was taken out and put drying. It was pounded with a turgean. Next it was hackled and it was then combed with a tliu. This was made of timber. Teo was made from the flax that was left after it being combed. Flax was always spun at home.
