In this project, we invite participants to grow 1m2 of flax in their own garden, inspired by the Swedish 1 KVM LIN. With expert guidance, they go through the entire process, from seed to textile. Throughout the year, participants receive practical newsletters, gain access to online webinars and can take part in inspiring processing days and workshops.

By growing their own flax and experiencing the magical process from seed to fiber, participants naturally confront critical questions about the current textile and production system, which changes their perspective on textiles. This project helps participants make better-informed and more sustainable choices.

In 2024, 850 interested individuals took part. Take a look at the Instagram account @_1m2vlas to get an impression of their experiences.

Registration for 2025 is now open and will be available until March 16th through craftscouncil.nl.
