Egyptian Flax Strick for Spinning Felting or Doll Hair Fiber Bast Fiber Fibers Line Flax Undyed Plant Fibers Linen Vegan

$21.99
Flax stricks directly from a small family flax farm in Egypt. Each flax strick weighs between 6 and about 6.5oz.

You can see how long the flax is in the pictures! It is long! and comes in the twisted, strick form just as shown.

The flax fibers are very strong and quite a bit more coarse than the fine flax combed top fibers that I also sell. They are very strong though, and a nice blond color from being water retted instead of dew retted. It was explained to me that the Egyptian climate does not allow for dew retting, so they water rett in tanks full of the bundles of flax. As shown in the pictures, there can be a little bit of shive stuck to a few of the fibers.

A couple customers have said that this flax has a smell. I don't find it offensive, and I think of it as an organic smell like hay would have, I think it just comes from the fiber being water retted and that it is a natural fiber. Natural smells like this do not bother me, after all, wool has a natural smell too and I think it won't be noticed when spun and processed, but if you are very particular about smells, then you are who I wrote this note for.


It's undyed, and is its natural color.
