I give this book 9.4 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 any introduction to the topic. The book covers growing flax, extracting the bast fibers, turning them into thread, and so on -- all with a very personal approach based on the author's experience, but with enough suggestions for people in e.g. very different growing conditions to give it a try.
I’m going to start building my flax grex immediately and see how they grow next spring.
