Description
Excerpt from Indiana Coverlets and Coverlet Weavers
There are not many people now living who remember the intricate details and many complex variations of the flax industry of the early times. Some seventy or seventy-five years ago it was no small part Of the economic life of the people who built their homes and lived their lives in the woods. The larger part of the wearing apparel for men and boys was made of home-made flax cloth. Bed sheets and grain sacks, towels, and many other household articles were made of the same material. The grain sacks held three bushels of wheat, and the boy who could not shoulder three bushels of wheat had not yet arrived at man's estate.
