Silk was discovered (unraveled) in 3000 BC by a Chinese princess Xi Ling Shi. For centuries, China held a monopoly on silk. Whenever there is something of value, theft will occur. In a future episode, I will discuss other aspects of silk. Should I wait until episode 85 or should I do it next week? website: autumnbreezedesigns.com email: carry.autumnbreeze@gmail.com Thanks.

I was trying to work from home but it seemed like everyone was against that idea from the Dog to the new computer. When the new computer said it needed to update and reboot for the third time, I decided to go out and get lunch at my favorite eatery, Elmo's Diner. I went in in a foul mood and left feeling wonderful. I tell you why in today's story. Thanks for coming by.

I have in fact written this blog entry twice. It keeps disconnecting me from the internet mid-sentence. Annoying. Computer support is denying there is an issue with their computer and drivers. Just how often do you have to install device drivers?

It was widely cultivated in Europe in the middle ages. Flax gives us flax seed and linseed oil as well as linen. Getting linen out of flax is a time consuming and labor intensive activity. You have to rot, dry, break, scrape, and comb the stalks to get the linen. Linen is usually spun using a distaff, which really is just an extra hand. Wet spinning produces a smoother yarn. After spun, the yarn is boiled and blocked to set the twist. Please let me know if you have any questions or know of any good stories concerning linen. website: autumnbreezedesigns.com email: carry.autumnbreeze@gmail.com voice-mail: 206 666 5775 Thanks.
