How it feels

A Danish documentary from 1941 shows the full process of making linen from flax. It follows the steps from drying the stalks in the field to cleaning, spinning, and weaving the fibers into cloth mostly done by women working large machines.

What happens

Høstarbejde under Krigen: Hørbehandling er en dansk dokumentarisk optagelse fra 1941. Alle faser af hørproduktion: efter høstning bredes hørstænglerne ud på marken til tørring, hvorefter de bindes i bundter og køres ind. På fabrikken foregår en rensning og kæmning i flere maskiner, og afslutningsvist spindes hørren til garn og vævning af tekstiler. Det er primært kvinder, der arbejder ved de store maskiner i produktionshallen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
