(her) Twine
I take my profession very seriously. This is not a woman’s hobby that got out of hand. hand-woven textile is extremely suitable as a transmission piece. Something made with great care can have the value to speak. It speaks on behalf of the maker and broadcasts stories and energy. To do this well, a lot of attention is needed and not necessarily a lot of technique. The attention starts with the manual fabrication of the fiber and ends with the correct placement of the threads and the finished work. I like to think of it as a kind of fireplace.
The basic of textile is fiber. The fiber I work with is (mainly) flax and it grows in Hemmen. I produce it with about 30 other linen stewards.

Spinning: Rapidly rotating on an axis, whirling, the motion of something that spins, the process of converting fibers into yarn or thread, the snorring sound of a happy cat.
Twisting; two threads that cross and make a strong tool. Spinning and Twining might be the oldest textile technique in the world. Originally done by hand rubbing a fiber over the thighs. Two twisted threads are much stronger than a single wire. A wire or, in the case of slightly thicker material, a rope. The rope. The first product in the world that has been traded. To twine also means to create something juicy! Something that is wanted; Trade
