Bertas Flachs (AT)

Bertas Flachs

Association for the preservation and promotion of traditional flax craftsmanship (Verein zum Erhalt und zur Förderung des traditionellen Flachshandwerks)

In March 2021, hand spinner Christiane Seufferlein Austria was given a chest full of flax. The owner was a certain Berta Pumberger Winhager. Her son was looking for a "good place" for his late mother's cherished bridal chest. Since a chest containing 80 kilos of fibre material would have simply been too much for her own use, the fibre artist began giving the braids away to an international spinning community. After a small article in the local weekly newspaper, many elderly people in the region came forward who also had flax and linen to give away.
