The soap making is attached to this text.

 

If you go to this web site http://www.artrans.com/rmsg/toc.htm

you can find many articles and resources freely available about how-to for

many things from soap making to weaving cloth etc.

These images did not come out in the right order.

 

This is the proper sequence for procecessing flax into linen thread:

 

1. Rippling (see image)

 

2. Retting (rotting -- no image)

 

3. Breaking with flax break (see image)

 

4. Scutching (no image)

 

5. Hackling with hackle (see image)

 

6. Spinning with distaff (see image)

It seems like you might be able to use similar implements for jute.

 

Nistula prabhu says that COM strips all attachments. This is probably a good

policy for them, as it reduces the risk of devotees receiving attachments like

the current ZIP worm virus.

 

In the meantime, I guess the only way I can send it to you is if you have

another e-mail address outside of COM. That's what I did for Nistula. Nistula

prabhu, were you able to see the images?

No, its a funny old world. I got the attachments in the post you sent to the

apocalypse conference. I get attachments all the time from com, that is not

a problem. It seems though that sometimes some attachments just dont make

it. I dont know why.

 

It maybe that com strips attachments from outside, but I often receive and

send attachments without problem. I was doing it a lot for Mayapur project.

 

Anyway thanks, very informative, good illustrations.
