WHY LINEN IS EXPENSIVE!

I found this video this morning and I absolutely loved watching it.  The fellow is from Scotland and even though he is speaking English it is very difficult to understand what he is saying!  We lived in England for 3 years with the USAF and sometimes you wondered if we were speaking the same language.  Thankfully, this video is visual and some subtitles are provided.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuj7sXVnIU 

Then on to the next video where its demonstrated how to spin the flax into fiber! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUeYJKOYrSk  My goodness I'm surprised that anyone could afford to buy any fabric back in the old days.  

And here is another video of a more modern way to make linen!  You can actually understand this woman!  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ZrZZefkohE  It looks a whole lot easier.  I hope you enjoyed this tour!
