£30.00 each or £180.00 for complete set

Linen is mentioned 104 times in 90 verses in the bible. Symbolic of purity it was used to make the curtains in Solomon’s Temple. It is worn by the seven angels who appear during the apocalypse carrying vessels containing the wrath of god. I decided to get them involved in something more positive and assigned them roles in the production of linen from flax. These are sowing, pulling, rippling retting, braking, heckling and spinning.
