Premium Short-Staple French Flax Fiber, Bleached, Ideal for Spinning and Blending - 2 oz

Experience the superior quality of 100% French Flax, meticulously sourced from the renowned flax-growing regions of Normandy, Hauts-de-France, Brittany, and Pays de la Loire. France is a global leader in flax production, celebrated for its optimal growing conditions and rigorous processing standards.

Key Features:

• High-Quality Origin: Sourced from France's premier flax regions, known for their exceptional flax cultivation.

• Short Staple: This bleached flax fiber is a byproduct of long-line flax production, valued for its unique properties rather than considered waste.

• Versatile Use: Ideal for spinning unique, textural yarns and blending with other fibers for enhanced cohesion and ease of spinning.

Spinning Techniques:

• Blending: Enhance stability and manageability by blending short-staple flax with other fibers, such as wool or longer fibers to add texture.

• Short Forward Draw: Employ a short forward draw technique to manage the shorter fibers effectively. This method involves drafting small sections at a time, ensuring controlled fiber handling and even twisting.

• High Twist: Apply a higher twist to hold shorter fibers together, creating a stronger yarn. Be careful not to over-twist, which can result in a stiffer yarn.

• Wet Spinning: Moisten your fingers while drafting to smooth and control the fibers, reducing frizz and creating a consistent yarn, akin to traditional flax spinning techniques.

Additional Information:

• Non-Smoke, Pet-Free Environment: All our fiber comes from a clean, pet-free environment, ensuring the highest quality.

• Photography Note: We strive to capture the beauty of the fiber from different angles. Please note that colors may vary slightly due to monitor differences.

• Custom Orders: Orders of multiple quantities (4, 2, 1 oz, or other weights) will be sent in one continuous piece.
