Finally mustered up the courage to try weaving with my own yarn. It looks a bit messy, but it feels pretty cool to be able to say I made a piece of textile from scratch entirely by hand, working together with nature to cultivate and process the flax - no machines, just manual tools, no pesticides, and no excessive amounts of water, no special chemicals to extract fibres - just moist, micro-organisms and careful observation. #1m2vlas #flax #weaving #bandweaving
Met up with other participants of the 1m2 flax project in the Netherlands. Everyone brought their results, ranging from bunches of hackled fibres to beautiful woven cloths. Afterwards we embroidered outside on antique local linen using linen yarn dyed in Lithuania. Was inspired to finally try weaving with my own yarn.

Okay, this is just silly now. 🧶

Germination! Almost exactly a week after sowing, the flax for the "1qm Lein" project is coming up.

@pencilears Good to note that this is a shop in de US. Not very interesting if you live elsewhere. But cool that is available.

The marigolds are already blooming!

I'm already getting ready for the new gardening season. I've planted a lot of different things. It's already April. And soon it will be May. And just think, at the end of May, I'll be going to plant all this stuff. I haven't mastered everything in this process yet.
