Teaming up with a friend and getting multiple copies in the same order is a good way to save money on shipping.

I talked about many of these tips for weaving with linen in the book, but here's a video of some of them in action and what happens when we don't have enough humidity (note the fluffy dust at the end - If the humidity could be higher, I tend to not get any dust at all)

I give this book 9.2 out of 10 acorns!

I read this sitting on the beach and in front of a campfire. It wasn’t just the perfect length for vacation reading but for an introduction to the topic.

I’m going to start building my flax grex immediately and see how they grow next spring.

Does anyone know where this book can currently be found? I'd love to buy a copy but the websites listed are sold out or not available. Thanks!

I'm hoping to have them for sale again in about a month.  We had to move some furniture and the "whatever you do, don't block access to that pile of boxes" got interpeted as "pile 4 floor to sealing,  6 foot wide, book cases full of books and abot two tonnes of furniture in front of it".

They come back next month to move it back.

10 days away from getting to my books and the post office goes on strike.  

This is basically a metaphor for how my year has gone so far.

the postal strike in Canada continues.  Once it clears, they will probably ration what they accept and expect long delays while they clear the backlogg.  

We will be lucky to ship before February.

However, any of these Canadian retailers can order the book in for you: https://www.harmonique.ca/dealer-locator/


 
I agree. Here's the link: https://woodheat.net
