Olen pidemm\u00e4n aikaa ollut kiinnostunut pellavan kasvatuksesta ja k\u00e4sittelyst\u00e4 kuidusta langaksi. Niinp\u00e4 ilmoittauduinkin heti kansalaisopiston kurssille kun sellainen osui kohdalle. Pellavalla on Suomessa pitk\u00e4t perinteet ja sit\u00e4 on viljelty jo ainakin pronssikaudelta l\u00e4htien, Euroopassa noin 7000 vuotta. Pellava on olosuhteiden puolesta melko vaativa. Se vaatii aurinkoisen ja multavan maan joka on tiivist\u00e4 ja pid\u00e4tt\u00e4\u00e4 hyvin kosteutta, mutta ei kuitenkaan liian m\u00e4rk\u00e4\u00e4. Tuomen kukkiessa on perim\u00e4tiedon mukaan ollut hyv\u00e4 pellavan kylv\u00f6aika. Silloin maa on sopivan l\u00e4mmint\u00e4 ja kosteaa. Kasvukaudella pellossa kasvavaa pellavaa ei yleens\u00e4 kastella, mutta kasvulaatikossa se saattaa kuivina jaksoina vaatia kastelua. Pitk\u00e4t kuivat ja kuumat jaksot saattavat aiheuttaa pelloillakin kastelutarpeen. Kasvualustasta on ennen kylv\u00f6\u00e4 hyv\u00e4 poistaa rikkakasvit, etenkin juolavehn\u00e4. Pellava hy\u00f6tyy kitkemisest\u00e4 my\u00f6s kasvuun l\u00e4hd\u00f6n j\u00e4lkeen.<\/p>\n\n\n

Korjaus, rohkiminen & liotus<\/strong>
Pellava on valmista korjattavaksi kun siemenkodat alkavat ruskettua ja alimmat lehdet kellastuvat. Silloin pellavan varret riivit\u00e4\u00e4n maasta juurineen. Korjatessa on varottava kasvien katkeamista. Riivityt pellavat ker\u00e4t\u00e4\u00e4n kourauksiin, jotka sidotaan muutamalla hennommalla pellavanvarrella. Kouraus on nippu pellavanvarsia jotka mahtuvat k\u00e4teen. Niput asetellaan kuivumaan esim rakennuksen seinustalle muutamaksi p\u00e4iv\u00e4ksi. T\u00e4m\u00e4n j\u00e4lkeen alkaa varsinainen pellavien k\u00e4sittely. Ensimm\u00e4isen\u00e4 rohkitaan irti siemenkodat. Rohkapenkiss\u00e4 ty\u00f6skentelee yleens\u00e4 kaksi henkil\u00f6\u00e4, yksi kummallakin puolen rohkaa. Penkin alle levitet\u00e4\u00e4n lakana jolle siemenkodat eli sylkyt putoavat. Siemenet kuivataan ja puidaan. Ne voidaan sy\u00f6d\u00e4 itse tai sy\u00f6tt\u00e4\u00e4 el\u00e4imille. Siit\u00e4 voi my\u00f6s ottaa siemeni\u00e4 seuraavan vuoden kylv\u00f6j\u00e4 varten. Rohkimisen j\u00e4lkeen kouraukset kootaan isompiin nippuihin ja liotetaan. Liotuksen voi tehd\u00e4 j\u00e4rvess\u00e4, joessa, nurmella tai hangella. Liotus kest\u00e4\u00e4 yleens\u00e4 2-6 viikkoa, riippuen olosuhteista ja pellavan laadusta. Hankiliotus saattaa kest\u00e4\u00e4 koko talven. <\/p>\n\n\n

Kuivaus, loukutus ja lihtaus <\/strong>
Liotuksen j\u00e4lkeen pellavat kuivatetaan ensin pellolla ja sen j\u00e4lkeen riihess\u00e4. Riihen tulipes\u00e4\u00e4 l\u00e4mmitettiin, jotta vilja ja pellava kuivuivat kunnolla. Kuivatuksen j\u00e4lkeen pellava tarkistetaan ja jos p\u00e4ist\u00e4reet eiv\u00e4t irtoa kunnolla, liotusta voi viel\u00e4 jatkaa. Yleens\u00e4 korjattu ja kuivattu pellava k\u00e4ytettiin vasta seuraavana vuonna. Kuivatut pellavaniput loukutetaan. Se oli yleens\u00e4 miesten puuhaa. Suuren pellavam\u00e4\u00e4r\u00e4n loukuttaminen kysyy kest\u00e4vyytt\u00e4 ja hyvi\u00e4 hartialihaksia, sill\u00e4 loukku on puuta ja sen rivakka hakkaaminen k\u00e4y nopeasti raskaaksi. Pellavaniput loukutetaan kunnes niiss\u00e4 ei en\u00e4\u00e4 tunnu kovia kohtia. T\u00e4m\u00e4n j\u00e4lkeen siirryt\u00e4\u00e4n lihtaukseen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lihta on saman n\u00e4k\u00f6inen kuin loukku, mutta pienempi ja siin\u00e4 on metalliter\u00e4t. Lihtaus oli naisten teht\u00e4v\u00e4. Pellavanippua k\u00e4sitell\u00e4\u00e4n lihdan v\u00e4liss\u00e4 kunnes siit\u00e4 on l\u00e4hes kaikki p\u00e4ist\u00e4reet, eli kuoren kappaleet irronneet. Sopivasti liotetuista pellavista p\u00e4ist\u00e4reet irtoavat helposti. Liian lyhyen aikaa liotetuista ne eiv\u00e4t tahdo irrota kunnolla ja liikaa liotetut katkeilevat helposti. Mit\u00e4 pidempi\u00e4 kuidut ovat, sit\u00e4 hienompaa pellavalankaa niist\u00e4 saa. Loukutus ja lihtaus tehtiin perinteisesti riihess\u00e4, sill\u00e4 kosteat syyss\u00e4\u00e4t hankaloittavat loukutusta ja lihtausta. M\u00e4rk\u00e4n\u00e4 p\u00e4ist\u00e4reet eiv\u00e4t irtoa pellavakuiduista. Riihess\u00e4 oli pime\u00e4\u00e4 ja ty\u00f6 piti tehd\u00e4 l\u00e4hes pime\u00e4ss\u00e4 n\u00e4ppituntumalla.

I\u2019ve been interested in growing flax and processing the fiber into yarn for quite some time. So I signed up right away for a course at the adult education center when one became available. Flax has a long tradition in Finland and has been cultivated here since at least the Bronze Age; in Europe, for about 7,000 years. Flax is quite demanding in terms of growing conditions. It requires sunny place, warm soil that is compact and retains moisture well, but not too wet. According to traditional wisdom, when the bird cherry blossoms, it is a good time to sow flax. During the growing season, flax growing in a field is not usually watered, but when grown in a grow boxes, it may require watering, especially during dry spells. During long, dry, and hot periods flax may need watering even in open fields. It is advisable to remove weeds from the ground before sowing, especially common couch. Flax also benefits from weeding after it has begun to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harvesting, rippling & retting<\/strong>
Flax is ready for harvest when the seed pods begin to turn brown and the lower leaves turn yellow. At that point, the flax stalks are pulled from the ground, roots and all. Care must be taken during harvesting to avoid snapping the plants shorter. The pulled flax is gathered into bundles, which are tied with a few thinner flax stalks. A bundle is a bunch of flax stalks that fits in one hand. The bundles are set out to dry, for example, against the wall of a building for a few days. After this, the actual processing of the flax begins. First, the seed pods are removed with rippling comb. Two people usually work at the rippling bench, one on each side. A sheet is spread out beneath the bench to catch the seed pods, or \u201csylkyt,\u201d as they fall. The seeds are dried and thressed. You can be eatb them yourself or feed to animals. Seeds can also be saved for the following year\u2019s planting. After threshing, the bundles are gathered into larger bundles and retted (=soaked). Retting can be done in a lake, a river, on grass, or on snow. It usually takes 2\u20136 weeks, depending on the conditions and the quality of the flax. Retting under snow may last the entire winter.<\/p>\n\n\n

Flax bundles are left to dry for couple of days before rippling.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Drying, breaking and scutching<\/strong>
After soaking, the flax was first dried in the field and then in the drying barn. The fireplace in the barn was heated so that the grain and flax would dry thoroughly. After drying, the flax is inspected, and if the woody stem parts do not come off properly, the soaking process may be continued. Generally, harvested and dried flax was not used until the following year. Next the dried flax bundles are broken. This was usually men\u2019s work. Breaking large amount of flax requires stamina and strong shoulder muscles, as the breaking tools is made of wood and it’s vigorous swinging quickly becomes tiring. The bundles of flax are broken until there is no hard spots in them. After this, the process moves on to scutching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scutching tool looks similar to than breaking tool but is smaller and it has metal blades. Scuthing was women\u2019s work. A bundle of flax is worked between the blades of the scutching tool until almost all the woody material of the stems have been removed. When the flax has been soaked just right, the woody parts come off easily. If soaked for too short a time, they do not come off properly, and if soaked too long, the fibers snap easily. The longer the fibers are, the finer the linen thread can be made from them. Breaking and scutching were traditionally done in the drying barn, as damp autumn weather makes it difficult. When wet, the woody bits do not separate from the fibers. It was dark in the barn, and the work had to be done mostly relying on touch. The work was also very dusty; after processing flax, the maids might cough up blood and suffer from fever and headaches. Nowadays, it is recommended to wear respiratory protection when handling flax. The woody parts separated from the flax could be used as bedding for animals. They also caught fire easily, so they could even be used as kindling.<\/p>\n\n\n

Seed pods are dried and threshed. You can do it by pouring seed pods inside fabric bag and beating it with wooden mallet. After that the insides is poured on large plate or wide bowl and seedpods can be blown away. Seeds are heavier so they stay on plate.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Hackling and Refining<\/strong>
After breaking and scutching, the flax is already clearly in the form of fibers, but the fine fibers still need to be separated from the coarser ones. This is done using a hackle. A hackle is a wooden board with a sort of sharp, spiked mat standing upright at both (or one) end. The scutched flax bundle is passed through the hackle\u2019s spikes several times. All the fibers that remain on the hackle are the called tow. The first batches of tow are very coarse. They can be used as isnulation or for coarse textiles, such as coarse sacks or ropes. The longer the flax is hackled, the finer the tow becomes. Finer fibers can be used to make smoother fabrics, such as for everyday clothing or tightly woven flour sacks. When moved on to finer heckle, the tow also gets finer. When no more fibers come loose from the flax bundle, the result is a fine flax. Finer clothing fabrics and bedlinen are woven from this fine flax. If desired, the fine flax can be further combed with a pig\u2019s-bristle comb, resulting in the finest possible flax, from which extremely fine and thin linen fabrics can be woven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After these preparatory steps, the next step is spinning, which we\u2019ll cover in our flax course in November. My mother and grandmother grew and processed flax back in the \u201980s. So I got to see these steps as a child, but I had never processed flax myself. It\u2019s not very complicated, even though there are several steps and it takes a long time to turn flax into thread. This course was an excellent crash course in flax processing, if you ever want to give it a try. By the way, traditional flax cultivation, processing, and spinning were added this year to Finland\u2019s National Inventory of Living Heritage. Our course teacher, Outileena Uotila, went to receive the certificate of honor this summer. She is the full-time employee at the Korteniemi heritage farm, and her responsibilities include preserving Finnish heirloom varieties of plants and maintaining the traditional landscape.

Going to a workshop like this really makes you understand how much work it used to be when making clothes. I don’t think it would be a bad idea for everyone to experience how long road it is from plant to a garment. Perhaps that would open new views to people and they might understand how senseless it’s to order fast fashion from China. I suspect that this might end up as usual, hunger grows while eating and next year I have my very own flax field. We’ll see. <\/p>\n\n\n
