Making of Clothes & Shoes
Flax was raised for lint and clothing. When the seed was ripe the flax was pulled up by the roots and spread on the ground to rot. The rottings were done by the rain and the dew. It did not impair the strength of the lint, it only made the straw brittle and loosened it from the lint so that it might be separated from the lint. It was then broken by hand; then scattered to separate the lint from the stalk. This was done by driving a board into the ground and sharpening the other end.
