llieinwe project (tr. a piece of linen cloth) is about growing flax and processing it into basic linen yarn, as a community – learning and sharing skills to be self sufficient and sustainable in our textile choices.

This year we’ll be growing flax for the third year at Global Gardens and at St Fagan’s Museum.

Join in by growing your own square metre – get your seeds at seed giveaways Railway Gardens, Chapter Arts Centre and Washington Tea in Whitchurch Road. Here’s instructions. Tag us as you grow along and join in with community processing days in the summer and autumn #Llieinwe
