Flax is one of the world’s oldest fibers with fabrics dating to 10,000BC found in Turkey that are made from linen (spun flax). A bast fiber, flax is similar to hemp, jute, ramie and stinging nettle. Historically, bast fibers have been used to make yarn, rope, burlap, paper and geotextile matting. Bast fibers have even been used to weave shoes in prehistoric times and are still made in select forest communities of Northeastern Europe.
