Making own linen string
« on: October 10, 2015, 10:11:40 am »
Hi all

I am just making my self a little indian bow with just a knife, takes forever!  I would really like to make my own linen string.  Gonna get myself a drop spindle.  Anyone know of any online videos or articles on making linen string from flax?  Growing flax and process it?  I have looked everywhere and just need an idea of where to start.  I have read the stuff in bowyers bible but it leaves a lot of gaps.  Just wondered if there was any info to be had to save myself some time.

Cheers
Dean
