It prefers cooler temperatures and is usually sown in early spring, with harvesting taking place in late summer or early autumn. The seeds are usually harvested when they turn brown, which is generally 80–100 days after sowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe harvested flax straw is then dried and pressed into bales for transport. The fibres from the plant’s stems are then separated from the seeds and can be processed for various purposes. The fibres are used to produce linen fabrics as well as twine, rope and weaving yarn.
