When hot cross buns are baked, some parts are split at the surface. These have a certain fashion which, contrary to the purpose of the baker’s art, are beautiful and in a peculiar way excite a desire for eating. Imperfection and linen are so intrinsically linked.
Artisans in Europe have been working on the complexity of craftsmanship needed to transform flax to linen for centuries; from field to fibre, from yarn to fabric…the beauty of linen is that it is not perfect.
Wishing you a joyful, long weekend…
