[Ansteorra-textiles] Some of Morgan's stuff

[Audette des Grenouilles]

Galen,

If you are curious about spinning linen (flax), and want to give it a try
before going to the effort of growing it, I know that a place called Robin and
Russ based out of Oregon (I don't know the website off the top of my head, but
a google search should find them) carries flax roving.  I bought some to play
with, and might even be convinced to part with some of it, if we end up at an
event together...  (too many projects on the go right now!)

:Yep on the linen, and have you spoken to Gerita about the North Central
:Regional Textiles Guild?  She is planning things with spinning, dyeing, and
:has been looking into growing flax.
