Since 2018, The Linen Project has been exploring the possibilities of producing local textiles and reviving small-scale linen production. Following the success of 1m2 vlas project in 2024, we invite you in 2025 to grow 1m2 of flax in your own garden. Under the guidance of experts, you’ll discover the entire process: from seed to textile.
Throughout the growing season, you’ll receive practical newsletters with tutorials, gain access to online webinars and have the opportunity to attend inspiring processing days and workshops. By growing flax yourself and experiencing the fascinating journey from seed to stalk, from fiber to fabric, you’ll naturally start to reflect on the current textile and production systems. This project helps you make more conscious and informed choices regarding sustainability.
In 2024, over 800 people participated in 1m2 vlas. Take a look at the Instagram account @_1m2vlas to get an impression of their experiences.
You can follow the entire process from home. Please note that you’ll need a few homemade tools for processing. (See the list of required materials here.) Would you like to use traditional tools? You can join a processing day and a spinning workshop. All necessary tools will be available there. These workshops are organized at various locations across the country.
