It is very interesting to watch as the film travels from flax fields in misty, northern France to combing factories in Normandy and spinning centres in Belgium, illustrating how the plants are transformed into versatile materials suitable for use in many industries. The industry prides itself on using no chemicals to process the fibres. There is footage of industrial looms weaving linen cloth and of women watching as metres are slowly rolled past their sharp eyes and steady touch searching out imperfections.

Linen is being blended with many other fibres for high end fashion eg; linen and cashmere, linen cloth backed with silver. Industrial and dress designers demonstrate their love and respect for linen.
