Re: [fibernet] flax spinning question

[Sara von Tresckow]

Given the lack of good quality strick flax on the market, and the 
availability of relatively nice flax rovings, I think that's where the wet 
towel comes in. You can't put the rovings on a distaff, so letting the 
roving run through a damp towel on the way to the orifice is a logical way 
to have wetspun flax.
In any case, the unspun material would need to be ordered in some way - 
similar to a roving - to have this be effective.
