Use to seed an area of 10sqm for a block of blue flowers and seedheads to attract birds or process into linen. Great project for kids.
This Flaxseed (Linum Usitatissimum) grows into the traditional fibre that is woven to make linen. This fascinating crop was one of the first crops ever cultivated. It has been grown for thousands of years to produce high-quality fibre to make lines for fishing, nets, ropes and fabric.
