Traditional Flax Processing & Spinning on a Vintage Wheel #flaxspinning

Traditional Flax Processing & Spinning on a Vintage Wheel: At a traditional event in Zäziwil, Switzerland called Brächete, I got to witness how flax was processed the old-fashioned way—just like in the 19th century! 🔨🧵 Using antique tools like flax brakes, flax sword, and flax combs, craftspeople reenacted the historic process of turning flax into spinnable fiber. I was lucky enough to walk away with a big bundle of flax—thought to be ruined—and try spinning it on a vintage wheel I found at a flea market! In this video, I’ll take you through the Brächete tradition, show you rare crafts like horsehair bobbin lace, and attempt to hand-card and spin this “rescued” flax for the very first time. 🧶 Come along for a journey through traditional craftsmanship, historical tools, and a bit of spinning experimentation! 👉 Like, comment, and subscribe for more fiber adventures, historic crafts, and creative experiments. 👍 Love traditional crafts and historical reenactments? 🔔 Tap subscribe and turn on notifications so you don’t miss the next video! 💬 Share your spinning tips or flax prep stories in the comments—I’d love to hear them! 🧶 💪 FIT-KNIT - WHOLE WORKOUTS: If you are interested in a whole fit-knit routines check out this Playlist:    • 🧶💪 Fit-Knit  🙆‍♀️🙆🙆‍♂️ Stitch & Stretch   🧶 🙆‍♀️ STITCH & STRETCH - WHOLE ROUTINES: If you are interested in a whole stretching routines for legs check out this Playlist:    • 🧶💪 Fit-Knit  🙆‍♀️🙆🙆‍♂️ Stitch & Stretch   🧶 💪 FIT-KNIT - SHORTS: If you are interestet in more Stitch & Stretch shorts check this playlist:    • 🧶 🙆‍♀️ Stitch & Stretch SHORTS - Mix and M...   🧶 🙆‍♀️ STITCH & STRETCH - SHORTS: If you are interestet in Fit-Knit shorts check this playlist:    • 🧶💪 Fit-Knit SHORTS - Mix & Match your Work...   #brächete #traditionalcrafts #handspinning #flaxprocessing #flaxspinning #fiberarts
