Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Both book and dustjacket are in pristine condition. An authoritative, encyclopedic guide. Thorough without being overwhelming. It acts as a comprehensive manual covering the entire lifecycle of the material?from growing and processing flax to spinning, dyeing, weaving the yarn, and finishing the final cloth. ? Crucial for Working with Flax: Because flax behaves entirely differently than wool or silk, spinners find Baines's technical breakdowns essential for understanding the unique properties of the fiber. Reviewers frequently highlight the historical importance of the book, noting that as industrial linen manufacturing has declined, this text preserves vital craft techniques and skills that are otherwise being lost. Scarce copy. Seller Inventory # 11125

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. The pages are crisp, white and clean. No creases, writing or underlining. The top corners on the boards are bumped and turn inward a little bit, and this created minor shelf-wear at the jacket's top corners (you have to look closely to notice it). The binding is straight and strong. I feel this copy is nice enough to be given as a gift. This book provides information on spinning, dyeing, and weaving linen yarn, finishing the cloth, growing and processing flax, and working with similar fibers such as hemp and ramie.
