Beschreibung

Flax Processing Days explores the fascinating history of linen production, focusing on the traditional methods of flax cultivation and processing. This book illuminates how families for generations transformed flax into linen, a once ubiquitous fabric. Discover the intricate steps, from planting to weaving, that were essential before industrialization. It highlights the resourcefulness required and the deep connection to sustainable practices in pre-industrial times. The book uniquely combines practical knowledge with social and familial contexts to present the complete flax-to-linen journey.

 
Chapters guide you through the seasons of flax cultivation, the detailed processes of rippling, retting, scutching, and heckling, as well as spinning, weaving, and finishing techniques. Learn how linen production was deeply embedded in family structures, community networks, and cultural values, serving as both a means of survival and a source of identity.

 
By drawing from historical agricultural manuals, oral histories, and museum collections, Flax Processing Days offers a comprehensive look at textile history. It emphasizes the significant role of family traditions in preserving these skills across generations, providing valuable insights for textile enthusiasts, craftspeople, and anyone interested in historical crafts and agricultural history.

    A Wild Path is author Douglas Wood's highly anticipated followup to the critically acclaimed memoir Deep Woods, Wild Waters. He again leads listeners along a meditative path through a wilderness of many dimensions—from the lakes and islands of his beloved Canoe Country to rugged ocean coasts to a mountain chasm, from camping on the Canadian Shield to listening to the soft strains of Beethoven in the pines, and from the pain of childhood wounds to appreciation for a life rich with nature. 
     
     
     
    With the generosity and compassion of a good wilderness guide, Douglas Wood welcomes listeners to accompany him as he navigates his life-path from struggling student and "worst reader in the class" to prolific writer and bestselling author. He offers courage and hope to those who feel different or left behind, and he shares how he found, through the counsel of rocks, trees, and waters, his own way toward joy and wonder and an unshakable sense of belonging. 
     
     
     
    Exploring the meanings of myriad outdoor experiences, Wood seeks to understand the importance and existence of beauty, the emotional poignancy of a wilderness sunset, and the realization of dreams, while also honoring his outdoor and literary mentors, including Sigurd Olson and Aldo Leopold.

This is the first work detailing the places, practices, and times of a cavalcade of people who touched the plants. A fascinating chronicle of an unexplored byway of the great American story.
