This is an old video yet just showed up in my recommended videos feed for some reason. It immediately piqued my curiosity though, and as soon as I started watching it I was instantly enthralled. There was also something incredibly relaxing about it too.
While watching, given his use of such primitive tools, I was also struck by the sheer amount of time and effort it clearly must have taken people to make linen before industrialization. Not only that, but the ingenuity involved in people first figuring out, and over time gradually learning to refine every step of the process, is also astounding. Standing on the shoulders of giants exemplified.
That's just burlap, twine and waxed twine, he didn't even go into refining it into linen, which is even more work. It's cool to see how different materials are made out of the same plant.

To be fair, neither did the fellow in your video, who showed even less of the process. ;)
