| 1. | Flax requires retting and dressing, while wool requires carding and washing.
|
| 2. | Roundabouts also save money on maintenance and energy for traffic signals, Retting said.
|
| 3. | These effects are particularly critical during dew retting.
|
| 4. | Natural retting methods take place in tanks and pools, or directly in the fields.
|
| 5. | Some bamboo fibre is made by a bacterial process similar to retting flax into linen fibre.
|
| 6. | At, the retting process takes 4 or 5 days, it takes longer when colder.
|
| 7. | After retting, the stalks are ready for scutching, which takes place between August and December.
|
| 8. | To extract fine fibers from jute plant, a small stalk is harvested for pre-retting.
|
| 9. | More intense retting separates the fibre bundles into elementary fibres, that can be several centimetres long.
|
| 10. | Several weeks of soaking makes bast fibers easily separable due to bacterial and fermentative processes known as retting.
