*Welcome Raven Ranson, author of "Homegrown Linen: Transforming flaxseed to fibre"

Thanks Raven.  What a gorgeous book!  The illustrations and photos are beautiful and helpful.  I've just started it, and am already feeling inspired, especially by the fact that you've included your own experiments on what works from conventional wisdom, and where conventional wisdom can be improved on.

Thank you everyone for participating!  I enjoyed my week with you.
