My friend Raven from Permies.com has helped promote quite a few of my books. She’s quite an accomplished gardener and farmer herself and recently sent me the following:
You know how I love promoting your books. Well… this is one of those
awkward moments where I created something neat and I had this crazy idea
that your followers might be interested in learning about it.
I thought of you because of bragging rights. You mention a few times that a
great reason to grow anything is bragging rights. Growing your own food is
one great way to earn bragging rights, pushing the zone and growing exotic
food (thanks to you I have 2 dozen citrus trees I’m trying to grow in
Canada) earns more bragging rights. But how about serving that food on your
own homegrown linen towel? Now that’s got to be worth some extra special
bonus points.
That’s what my book’s about: how to grow flax and transform it into cloth.
Right now I’m holding a kickstarter to pay for the printing costs. I would
love it if you could help spread the word.
Homegrown Linen: Transforming Flaxseed into Fibre.
If you still need convincing, there’s a great FAQ about zombies and the
apocalypse and how this book will help you survive such events.
What an intriguing idea. Please, go back her – this is really a cool niche. I should have posted about this a couple of weeks ago but lost it in my email account. Fortunately, we’re not too late.

My mom and I were wondering if fabric can be made from cottontail puffs. . . It’s kinda similar to cotton..
I mean cattails like what grows in water
Can you grow flax for linen in north Florida?
Yes, we grew some this spring and it did well. Just planted flax seed from the grocery.
