51 Yarns — 9: Spinning Bast (Flax)

*I love helping people learn about fibre arts... I also have to pay the bills! A lot of work goes into these videos so if you found it helpful, please consider supporting the channel by buying me a ‘virtual coffee’ via my Ko-Fi account : http://www.ko-fi.com/tinyfibrestudio or joining my Patreon:   / tinyfibrestudio   Thank you!* PLY Magazine is running a Spinalong to coincide with the launch of their book, 51 Yarns to Spin Before You Cast Off. You can post your entries on their Facebook, Instagram and Ravelry groups with the hashtags #51yarns, #handspunyarn and #plymagazine. There's a different theme each week and you can find a list of the topics and other information here: https://plymagazine.com/ply-books/51-... The best part is that one winner each week gets a one-year subscription to PLY! I've decided to play along in video form as well by creating a video each week to correspond with that week's spinalong theme. This week it's "Bast" and having spun my first sample of flax, I'll show you the tips and tricks I learned along with some of the resources I found useful. Saffy and Dexter are back and causing chaos, although I have to applaud their comic timing! ****CORRECTION!**** It turns out banana fibre is counted as bast. My mistake! Next week's spinalong topic (starting Monday 4th June) is "Semi-Worsted". Hope to see you again then!
