The area of flax is not small, but its seed weight is not large, and the shape and size of the seed are about the same as rapeseed.

So even if it can be harvested normally, it is not very realistic to produce oil by it, and the yield of oil is absolutely impressive!

Fortunately, it is only an accessory product of hemp, and I don't plan to use it to squeeze oil after having peanut oil, and dozens of catties of flaxseed that are not fully ripe are thrown away, because they can't squeeze oil at all.

The problem comes back to linen, if you want to make clothes, you must have linen, and the material of linen is flax fiber, which is actually the skin of the linen rod.

If you think that the sun-dried hemp stalk can be peeled directly, you are wrong, even if it is treated directly, it will work, but I don't want to do it.

Direct peeling is not only extremely inefficient, but the greater trouble is that it is laborious, and after an hour or two, the nails may be polished, or the flesh on the inside of the nails will crack, and the pain will be more intense the later you go.

If you can't experience it, it can be understood as peeling peanut shells for several hours in a row, and I believe many people have had this experience!

The solution is water, just soak it in water for a while, and then pick it up smoothly and smoothly.

The width of the peeled skin is not uniform, but the length is not much different, and all are close to a meter in length.

The efficiency of pure manual work is always not high, as for the modern process is like papermaking, the whole hemp stalk is broken and then remade into fine thread is unknown, anyway, with my means can only be operated like now.

Everything has a beginning and an end, and the long silk thread is not complicated to process, but the trouble is the workload!

The first batch of hemp stalks soaked in water was about 300 catties, and there was also a large bundle of stripped silk threads.

Although it is difficult to describe how much it is, the materials that can be used to make two or three pieces of clothing should be enough, and the follow-up continues to soak hemp sticks.

The next step is to divide the twine into threads of similar size and soak them all in water until they are soft.

There are inevitably many steps involved in making everything with traditional crafts, and I was heartbroken to be able to put on new clothes!

......

The twine taken out of the water is slightly dried and then kneaded one by one into threads and connected, just like wool, but in fact, the state at this time is very close to the wool used to knit sweaters.

I have to say that this step is still quite fun, a bit back to the feeling of childhood.

The diameter of the hemp rope is about two to three millimeters, and I remember that there seemed to be a sizing step in the previous practice, but unfortunately my memory is blurry and I can't remember it clearly.

In addition, there are no raw materials for making slurry on the island, so this step can only be omitted, and it is unknown what the consequences will be!

And the loom used for weaving is completely incapable of making it, so the most headache is the problem of weaving.

When the linen was still in the field, I always fantasized about using linen to make all kinds of clothes I wanted, but now that I have the materials, I am discouraged.

I found that it was not a small project to make a handmade piece of clothing, and at first I even fantasized about sewing a quilt from linen, but I could only say that I was too naïve at that time!

The temperature in mid-July is already high and will get higher and higher, and the daily outings have been revised to a few hours in the morning and evening.

After the conditions are getting better and better, it is natural to become more and more squeamish, the previous July was still busy outside, but now July is lazy in the open!

I'm going to make clothes, and I'm almost the only summer dress I'm wearing on myself, and the effect is very eye-catching, basically not a book size of a good cloth, and the clothes are ragged!

If you don't make new clothes, you may actually have to make clothes from leaves......

After I was busy with other important things, I got to work, at least to make the first set of clothes that were more urgent.

As for the equipment needed to make clothes, I didn't even have a handmade loom, so I had to find the easiest way to do it.

This method is similar to the original method of knitting sweaters, but it would be more troublesome to use the method of knitting sweaters because the thread is too thin, so I found an easier way.

It is crochet, when you were a child, you may know that you can knit sweaters not only with a few straight long needles, but also with a crochet with a small hook!

In the absence of a loom, I had no choice but to use the more convenient way, and although the workload was still huge, there was no better way.

......

After straightening out my thoughts, I went straight to action, spending most of the day at home and concentrating on knitting clothes, with only a few things like three meals a day and feeding chickens and sheep.

If it weren't for the lack of brightness of Tongguo, I would even be eager to make the first costume as soon as possible.

Of course, there are still many troubles encountered at the beginning, in addition to technical obstacles, the biggest trouble is that the thread is relatively thin.

Even if you don't have to keep your eyes open to see, you have to be quite attentive to go smoothly, otherwise it will take half a day to straighten out the thread!

Some things look complicated on the surface, and it is indeed complicated, and some things look inconspicuous on the surface, but they are a hundred times more complicated than imagined.

Its difficulty is much more difficult than knitting a sweater, a bit similar to embroidering cross-stitch, the disadvantage is that there is no template, you have to make and explore, and the advantage is that it is faster.

The first garment to make is a pair of shorts, relatively speaking, pants are always more important than clothes, you can often see topless, but there are very few people who don't wear pants, after all, people have shame.

In addition, there are some other reasons, the pants on the body have long been unable to hold up, it is more urgent than the pants!

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, then difficult in the middle, and difficult in the back", but in general, it is still the most difficult at the beginning, and there is almost no progress on the first day except for figuring out the technique and structure.

The next day, I was able to make it from scratch, but after I cleared my mind, I continued to improve as I became more proficient, and I was able to make a piece of fabric larger than a palm in one day.

The thickness is different from that of ordinary summer dresses, due to the diameter of the hemp rope, and the woven fabric is about three to four millimeters thick.

If it weren't for the breathability of the material itself and the lack of density of the hand-woven fabric, it would have been quite sour to wear in summer!

Now as long as this result can be made, I am still relatively satisfied, and it is relatively thick and more wear-resistant and durable.

......

Different from the beginning, when you could only weave a large piece of palm every day, after three to five days, the efficiency was further improved, and you can weave nearly the size of a book every day.

One week later, the first pair of shorts for summer wear is complete, and another week later, the first short-sleeved dress is complete!

Although it took a long time, there were countless times when I wanted to throw it on the ground and stomp on it twice, but in the end, I still insisted on sending it......

I finally have the ability to make my own clothes, which is very important, and the meaning is not the same as picking up fabrics at the beach.

What can be produced by yourself, even if the quality is poor, the production process is complicated and troublesome, but you don't need to look at people's faces, just like the previous state.

I always go to the beach to pick up garbage, but I can't always meet my needs, otherwise I wouldn't be in a ragged state!

It does cost a lot of time to make clothes by yourself, but fortunately, as all aspects of life become more and more stable, there is a lot of time that can be freed up, otherwise you would not have the time to make clothes.

It is no exaggeration to say that I have been waiting for the linen to mature, because the demand for it is quite urgent, so I immediately changed the tattered clothes I was wearing as soon as I made the clothes.

I don't know how long it's been since I've worn new clothes, but the last time it seems to have been before I went to the island.

A linen garment without any pattern or color would have been discarded in the past, but here and now I have treasured it and cherished it!

Not only is there a reason why it has a huge effect, but also my hard work and sweat, no matter who makes a dress in half a month by hand, it will be cherished.

The feeling of wearing new clothes is different, except that the fabrics made with modern craftsmanship are not comfortable and soft, and have a rough feeling.

However, it is inevitable that the comfort caused by the roughness of the material treatment is not enough, because the lines themselves are very thick, and the weaving technique is also a novice trial production, and there are many shortcomings.

If you compare a piece of clothing produced by a modern art machine, you can spray it to nothing, and you don't want to give it to others.

......

A set of clothes is completely unable to meet the daily needs, not even a change of clothes, but for the time being, I don't plan to do it again, if I continue to do such meticulous work, I will definitely go crazy!

At the end of August, the temperature is getting higher and higher, and it is the season when you dare not go out.

Fortunately, the fishing traps that took a lot of effort to make could replace the previous function of going to sea, otherwise life would not be as abundant as it is now.

The hot weather didn't have much of an impact on the food, and I don't know when I started to have at least two dishes at every meal, which was a world away from living on another island, especially in the first two years.

Of course, the cost is that there is still a lot of busy time, for example, now, at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, the power of the sun has decreased, and I am heading for the fishing trap.

For more than half a month, I couldn't get in and out, and there were not many fish in the fish pond, and fishing was only one of the purposes, and the other purpose was to go to the sea to bathe, but it was in the trap after fishing!

I haven't come to fish for a while, maybe it's a trap and I want to show it well, and today's net can be regarded as a bumper harvest.

When I blocked the inlet of the trap and looked up at the harvest inside, I was stunned!

In addition to more than a dozen small fish of one or two catties, there are actually two large fish that are more than 50 centimeters in size, or the appearance of the extremely ugly horse pufferfish, usually called "peeled fish", because when eating, they must be peeled first.

PS: Spoilers to the waves.,It'll be over at the end of this month.,No matter how many chapters are left, they'll be released together!
