2024 FLAX SEED

For many years we have taken great pleasure supplying fiber flax seeds in small quantities to fiber artists and others interested in flax culture. Sadly, we have aged and are living in a city apartment. We have no seed in stock and have already received quite a flood of inquiries about 2024. We are not able to process flax seed orders this year and in the future.

In the past, our seed – professional Dutch seed – was procured through the Landis Valley Museum in Lancaster, PA.

Thank you to all who have purchased seed from us in the past, and may your future crops grow and prosper.

HANS UDO VON TRESCKOW 1941-2024

With sadness and respect, I regret to announce that Hans, partner in the Woolgatherers died peacefully on June 3.

 He contributed greatly to the offerings of our little shop. 

As an engineer, he applied his knowledge to repairing spinning wheels, building spinning stools, designing looms, designing fan reeds, developing loom and tool plans. 

Utilizing his experience long ago in the merchant marine and more recently in logistics for his machine tool company, he provided excellent packing and shipping service at a reasonable cost, whether a simple Autodenter or a full sized Swedish loom. 

And he was simply a wonderful partner to have. 

The Woolgatherers will continue to exist. His Navajo Loom and Flax Tool Plans will continue to be available. 

I will need a period of time this summer to assess our remaining inventory and make decisions about what I will offer going forward. Special offers and information will be posted here and on Facebook. 

We thank all our customers, not only for their business, but the pleasure of the human interaction.
