Hi there,

 

I just received the following question from a colleague:

 

"Do wild species of flax like Linum bienne grow a thick/tall enough
stalk (bast fiber) to be spun?"

 

I believe they do but promised that I would check here. Does anyone have
any suggestions/references that I could send to her?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Alexia
