~~Large Mid - 1800's Flax Braid~~


I am offering for your consideration a large fat mid 19th century flax braid or twist. This flax is American and was grown in Oley Pennsylvania on a farm that has since been sold.

This flax remains unspun. Prior to being twisted for storage, this flax would have been combed with a hetchel. Spun flax would have been used to create linen cloth

Measuring 12 inches long, it has been tied together with a strip of early blue calico cloth and is ready to hang on your peg rail!

Authentic, early & 100% American grown! Circa 1840.
