30,000 Years Old Wild Flax Fibers… : DASH Story 2013-11-15
Story content
I work in software engineering, but at home I am very low tech. I scour fleeces, card or comb them, and spin them for my knitting and weaving projects. While I tend to focus on archaeological reports from Bronze Age forwards, I am thoroughly fascinated by fiber-related finds in prehistory, and appreciate the detail that a proper scholarly article brings. I will be keeping these results in mind the next time I pull out flax fibres, and may try to reproduce them. Attempting to reproduce archaeological finds is a wonderful teacher.
