Types and methods of maceration flax

The first method is to soak or moisturize with water:

by placing flax sticks grouped and bound in the form of small bundles in large pools of water so that the whole is immersed and dipped in any water that covers all the sticks. In countries with hot climates, the water automatically heats with the temperature of the air and sunlight throughout the day, which ranges from 30 to 40 degrees in the summer. All in order to soften the straw and is suitable for flax. In this method, flaxseed is separated first before administration.
In countries with cold weather and low temperatures, they need to heat water with different technologies and devices of large sizes.
In some companies, they add some acids, solutions and chemicals to facilitate and accelerate the fermentation process.
After the required application, the water is filtered from the ponds, the flax is extracted wet and spread in the fields with continuous stirring until dry.

The second way to give
It is the natural decomposition with the help of the natural conditions in the earth and the atmosphere. It depends entirely on appropriate weather and climate conditions for that. They leave the flax after the mechanical and mechanical harvest in the fields on the ground. And with the fungi and bacteria present in the soil and the good humidity in the atmosphere by dew and water vapor at night. Sometimes it rains with wind, air and sun. All of this breaks down and weakens the consistency of straw, fiber and fabric. And with the process of flipping several times to give the desired result. In this way, the seeds are removed in the fields or in factories
In either case, the color of the flax fibers varies according to each of the previous fermentation methods. Excess fermentation weakens the strength and durability of the fibers. And with a little fermentation, the fibers become very rough, and we cannot pull and separate them from the broken legs.

After these two methods
flax is collected in bundles and packages and taken to factories in order to separate the fibers from the stems and stems. It is like peeling in the sense of removing the shell from the pulp. And the shell here is the fiber. The core is broken legs and sticks. This is done by breaking the stem or flax sticks into small pieces, then ginning and cleaning, in order to separate the clean fibers from the broken legs. And this method also evolved over time from primitive manual methods to modern and mechanical methods.
But before this stage, it is preferable to store flax and leave it in storage for a period of time from one to three months in order for it to be moist, loose and soft.
After ginning, the fibers are classified according to quality, length, and degree of hygiene.

Combing: Smoothing, straightening, and demining fibers.
Drawing: It is placing the fibers as a strip in a straight line. In the sense that they are stacked in rows or queues, so that the ends are overlapping, that is, the end of each side is above the middle of the one before it.
Yarn: converting fibers into yarns. It is of two types dry yarn, and wet spinning with the help of warm water. At this stage, we can determine the thickness of the thread according to the product to be manufactured after that. It depends on the quality of the fibers and the customer’s requirements.
Tissue: Assemble the threads lengthwise and wide together side by side. With well-known textile and machinery tools, both ancient and modern.
And then the stage of chemical treatment, coloring, dyeing, and color fixation
Sometimes the textile is left in its natural state without dyeing, in order to obtain the natural environmentally friendly appearance and the healing properties of the fabric.
