In fact, to produce fine linnen-thread, the production was all
hand-made. Beginning with hand-chosen seed from the biggest plants, sow
broadcast, and so on.
I was told all machines to work fiber are too strong to handle this flax
and we all understand that nobody will hand-spinn flax as this is harsh
to the skin of the hands, traditionally the spinning was worked in
cellars with high humidity and very little light, so the conditions for
work not health-improving, the pay one of the lowest imaginable.

Now a second problem for the linnen threads is that the chinese buy a
lot of it in europe, I know a firm in Italy who made a very fine fabric
in linnen, he had to stop the production as he could no longer find the
flax he needed because all had be sold to China. This has happened some
years ago and the quality of the linnen threads was that moment very low
too.
