As long as we’re introducing new blog features like Digital Release Thursdays<\/a>, I’m going claim Fabric Fridays. I thought this would give us a chance to talk about various fabric and fibers. And maybe it will help me to remember what day of the week it actually is. (Who would have thought I’d still have a problem with that?)<\/p>\n

A couple of years ago I wrote a series of posts for the BurdayStyle blog<\/a> about various fabric and fibers. I was thinking about that series recently, and I thought it might be useful to have some of that information available on the Oliver + S blog, too. So if you read that series, some of these upcoming posts may sound familiar. But I’m planning to expand on what I did earlier and to include some other ideas, too.<\/p>\n

To kick things off, here’s a video showing the steps of harvesting and preparing flax for weaving. I think it’s so interesting and honestly had no idea that so many steps were involved in the process.<\/p>\n
