Flax in Lithuania

share

So far, there is no agreement on where flax in Lithuania first appeared – in ancient times it was popular in China and India, and Egyptians used it not only for clothes, sails, or ropes but also for mummification. However, it would be difficult to disagree with the fact that in our country this plant is associated with deep traditions – flax in Lithuania which reached more than 4,000 years ago became one of the symbols of the nation. 

First of all, it should be mentioned that the flax-growing process is much longer and more complicated than that of other plants. But the ancient Lithuanians took this process seriously. The whole family was involved in this work: some were breaking stalks, while others were combing or weaving… Probably this is one of the reasons why linen products have been so cozy up to now. This fabric embraces the values not only of the family but also of the whole community.

The stages of flax growing were associated with various festivals with plenty of games, fairy tales, and songs that have remained to this day. There were also various beliefs. For example, the thinner the linen yarn, the more luxurious the fabric will be and the more praise the weavers will receive. This plant accompanied Lithuanians during all major festivals and linen towels were special gifts for various celebrations.
