Homegrown Flax and Cotton

DIY Guide to Growing, Processing, Spinning & Weaving Fiber to Cloth

Cindy Conner

Description

From seed to shirt, Cindy Conner shows you how to plant, grow, harvest, process, spin and weave cotton and flax into cloth from which you can sew your own clothes. And since cotton and flax are made from plants, when your clothes' usefulness has passed they can also return to the environment without causing harm – a truly renewable and sustainable option for clothing.

This complete guide includes:

  • In-depth instructions on growing and harvesting
  • Preparing the fibre for spinning
  • The spinning process for each fibre
  • The basics of weaving cloth
  • Suggestions on patterns and how to weave the pieces you need for clothing
  • How to sew your woven pieces together
