Another #flax #drawing - not quite done but I'm letting it sit for a while - spending time in Oaxaca has deepened my understanding of natural fibers, hand spinning, weaving and all things textile. So I have been seeking those things out in my own community here in Oregon - its fun to be a tourist in your own town and see what's out there. This is a pic of big bundles of flax that @pnw_fibershed brought to a super fun event where we processed flax for spinning.

Thank you @patagonia for awarding us another Environmental Grant to support our flax to linen work!!! We are honored and thankful for the continued support. @fibrevolution_pnw #fibershed #regenerativeagriculture #flaxislinen #oregon #loveoflinen #community #linen #flax

We are looking forward to a fun evening with our community! #fibershed #soiltosoil #oregongrown #fiber #flaxislinen

We are thankful to @fibershed_ for awarding us a grant to develop and promote Climate Beneficial grazing practices in our region. We will be taking a closer look into what these best practices look like and sharing them through video, photography and a “how to” checklist. Our goal is to engage our community on how these practices allow carbon to be captured in the soil to help mitigate our changing climate. #climatebeneficial #carbonfarming #grazing #wool #regenerativeagriculture #fibershed #pnwgrown

Bioregionalism asserts "that a bioregion’s environmental components; geography, climate, plant life, animal life-directly influence ways for human communities to act and interact with each other which are, in turn, optimal for those communities to thrive in their environment.” #fibershed #slowfashion #circulareconomy #textiledesign #sustainable #fashionrevolution #americanlinenrevival

Regenerative agriculture looks like this...480 fiber flax seed envelopes to plant in 1-foot squares. Our flax to linen pilot project has evolved to working with seed breeding experts like Dr. Jennifer Kling. So much goes on behind the scenes of the fiber we surround ourselves with everyday. @fibrevolution_pnw #flaxislinen #regenerativeagriculture #community #agriculture #fibershed #linen #climatebeneficial

Hand Scutching Irish Linen with Eugene and Felix McConville in Dromore, County Down, Northern Ireland. A very familiar process for us, as hand scutching long line linen is the only option we have back home in North America currently... #americanlinenrevival #loveoflinen #flaxislinen #linen #scutching #flax #irishlinen #ireland #fiber #textiles #mill @fibrevolution_pnw

Well managed grazing can capture carbon into the soil. Follow link in bio to watch full video and learn more about these regenerative agricultural practices. #fibershed #managedgrazing #climatebeneficialwool #regenerativeagriculture #carbonfarming #fiber #textiles #pnw

Our latest Producer Story, in collaboration with @fibrevolution_pnw , shares McConville’s Flax Mill & Museum; a working water powered flax scutch mill for linen production in Dromore in County Down Northern Ireland. Here Eugene and Felix McConville work to keep this century’s old craft alive for future generations. •
