Ilineni ingenye yezinto zokugqoka zemvelo ezindala nezithandwa kakhulu ezaziwayo esintwini, isuselwa esitshalweni se-flax esingathandwa kangako esilinywe izinkulungwane zeminyaka emiphakathini eminingi yezimpucuko. Lendwangu ephawulekayo ihlonishwa ngenxa yokuphefumula kwayo okumangalisayo, ukucwebezela kwemvelo, nokuqina kwayo okuvelele, okwenza kube ukukhethwa okuthandwayo ezingutsheni, izindwangu zasendlini, kanye nezinhlelo eziningi zezimboni emhlabeni wonke. Ngokungafani nezinto zokwenziwa ezibamba ukushisa nomswakama, ilineni inesakhiwo esivulekile esiyingqayizivele esivumela umoya ukuthi ujikeleze ngokukhululeka, igcine umuntu epholile ekushiseni okushisayo kwehlobo futhi efudumele kahle lapho izinga lokushisa lehla. Intambo yayo ibushelelezi futhi iqondile, okunika ilineni ukuthungwa kwayo okuqinile, ukugoqeka okuhle, nokucwebezela okuthambile okuthola ukuthandwa ngabaklami nabathengi ngokufanayo. Kusukela ezingutsheni zasehlobo ezihle zibe khona kuya ekuhlelweni kwetafula okucwengekile, indwangu yelineni iletha ubuciko bemvelo obungafinyeleleki kwezinye izinto ezimbalwa ngobuhle nobude besikhathi esifanayo. Kulabo abafuna izinketho ezisezingeni eliphezulu, abakhiqizi belineni abasunguliwe abafana ne-Ci-sheng bakhiqiza futhi bahlinzeke ngezindwangu zemvelo ezisezingeni eliphezulu ezihlangabezana namazinga anamandla ezimakethe zanamuhla.

Okusha okwehlukanisa ilineni ngempela ukuguquguquka kwayo okumangalisayo, ngoba ingalukwa ibe yizinto ezihlukahlukene kusukela ezindwangu ezithambile ezinjenge-hemu yedukazi kuya kumaseyili asindayo asetshenziselwa ukumboza ifenisha, amaseyili, ngisho nasezimbonini. Indwangu inokuthinta kwayo okukhethekile okuba thambile futhi kube nokunwebeka ngokugezwa ngakunye, kancane kancane kuthuthukise ubuhle obukhethekile obuthandwa yilabo abathanda ilineni njengoba into ikhula. Ngenxa yokuthi iyinsimbi yemvelo, ilineni imunca amanzi kakhulu futhi ingabamba amaphesenti angamashumi amabili esisindo sayo kumswakama ngaphandle kokuzwa imanzi esikhunjeni, okuchaza ukuthi kungani ihlala ithandwa kumathawula, okokulala, nezingubo zasehlobo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ilineni ngokwemvelo iyamelana namabhu, amagciwane, nesikhunta ngenxa yezakhi zayo ezingokwemvelo, okwenza kube ukukhetha okuhlanzekile kakhulu ezingutsheni nasezintweni zasekhaya. Uma ucabanga ngazo zonke lezi zici ndawonye, kuba sobala ukuthi kungani ilineni ihlale iyisisekelo embonini yezindwangu izinkulungwane zeminyaka. Ukuze ubone ububanzi obugcwele balokho lolu chweba olungakunikeza, ungabuka uhla olubanzi lwezindwangu zemvelo ekhasini Lomkhiqizo le-Ci-sheng futhi uthole izinketho zezingubo, zangaphakathi, nezokusetshenziswa okukhethekile.

Indaba yelinen iqala eminyakeni engaphezu kwezinkulungwane ezingamashumi amathathu edlule, nobufakazi bemivubukulo bokuthi imicu yefilakisi yayisetshenziselwa ukukhiqiza izindwangu eGeorgia yasendulo futhi kamuva yachuma emzileni wempucuko ngasosebeni oluvundile loMfula iNayile. AbaseGibhithe basendulo babeyihlonipha kakhulu ilinen, beyisebenzisela konke kusukela ezingutsheni zansuku zonke kuya ekusongweni okuyinkimbinkimbi kwamakhosi afakwa emidumbini, futhi baze bayisebenzisa noma njengohlobo lwemali ngenxa yekhwalithi yayo enkulu yamasiko neyomnotho. Imiphakathi yaseYurophu, ikakhulukazi e-Ireland naseBelgium, yaduma emhlabeni wonke ngokukhiqiza ilinen ngeNkathi Ephakathi, namasimu amakhulu efilakisi enabela emaphandleni kuyilapho abaluki abanekhono bephucula ubuciko babo ngezizukulwane zokuzijwayeza ngokuzinikela. INguquko Yezimboni yashintsha umkhiqizo welinen unomphela ngokusungulwa kwemishini yokuluka nokuhlanganisa imicu, okwenza le ndwangu eyayikade iwukunethezeka kuphela yatholakala kalula emphakathini jikelele kuyilapho kugcinwa idumela layo lekhwalithi ephezulu. Namuhla, abakhiqizi bezindwangu banamuhla abafana noCi-sheng baqhubeka naleli siko lokuziqhenya ngokuhlanganisa ulwazi lwasendulo nobuchwepheshe besimanje ukuze bakhiqize ilinen elihlangabezana nezidingo eziyinkimbinkimbi zemakethe yomhlaba yanamuhla. Ukuqonda lomlando ocebile nohlukahlukene kujulisa ukwazisa kwethu ngokukhanga kwelinen okuhlala njalo nokuqina kwalo okumangalisayo emasikweni ahlukahlukene nasekulungeni kwezinkulungwane zeminyaka.

Ngokuthakazelisayo, ukuhweba kwamalineni emhlabeni wonke kube nomthelela ezilimini, amasiko, kanye nezenzo zansuku zonke ngezindlela ezisaqhubeka nokuba khona emhlabeni wethu wanamuhla oxhumene kakhulu, okuhlanganisa nendlela esibhekisela ngayo ezindwangu zasekhaya ngezilimi ezahlukene. Isibonelo, igama le-tablecloth ngeSpanishi, elithi "mantel," libonisa izimpande ezijulile zamasiko ezihlale zibambekile ezindwangu zemvelo empilweni yasekhaya kulo lonke elaseLatin America naseSpain, lapho i-tablecloth ngeSpanishi ibaluleke njengoba nje ukudla okuphekwe kuyo emibuthanweni yemindeni. Njengoba izindlela zokuhweba zanda futhi ukuxhumana komhlaba kwanda, ilineni laba uphawu olunamandla lwesikhundla nokucwengeka ezinkantolo eziningi zaseYurophu, kuyilapho imizi ejwayelekile iligqamisa ngokuqina kwalo okusebenzisekayo nobuhle balo obuhlala njalo. Isitshalo se-flax ngokwaso sasicushiwe emibhalweni yasendulo nasezincwadini ezingcwele njengophawu lobumsulwa, ukulunga, nokwethembeka kokuziphatha, okuqinisa ukubaluleka kwalo ngokwesiko ezimpucukweni eziningi. Esikhathini sanamuhla, ilineni libone ukuvuka okumangalisayo ngempela njengoba abathengi abanokwazi bafuna ezinye izindlela eziphila kahle esikhundleni sezindwangu zokwenziwa ezisuselwa kuphethiloli, futhi lolu thakaselo olusha luphefumulele impilo entsha egqamile ezifundeni zokulima i-flax ezindabuko emhlabeni wonke. Uhambo lwelineni kusukela ezindwangu zokugoqa abafileyo baseGibhithe lasendulo kuya emikhakheni yemfashini ephezulu lubonisa ukuguquguquka kwalo okungapheli, ukubaluleka kwalo okuqhubekayo, namandla alo amangalisayo okuzivumelanisa nezidingo ezishintshayo zomphakathi wesintu.

Izici ezichazayo zendwangu yelinen yizo kanye ezibeka njengezinye zezinto zemvelo ezifiseleka kakhulu emhlabeni wonke namuhla, zinikeza inhlanganisela emangalisayo yokunethezeka, ukuqina, kanye nomthwalo wemfanelo wokongiwa kwemvelo okungenakufaniswa nemicu yokwenziwa. Ukuphefumula kwayo kuyinganekwane ngempela, kuvumela ukushisa komzimba ukuba kuphume ngenkathi umoya omusha ujikeleza ngokukhululeka, okugcina umuntu epholile, omile, futhi enethezekile ngisho nasezingeni lokushisa elishisayo kakhulu lasehlobo. Ilinen futhi iqine ngokwedlulele, inamandla okudonsa angaphezu kweka-kotini, okusho ukuthi izingubo zelinen kanye nezindwangu zasendlini zingamelana neminyaka yokusetshenziswa okuqinile ngaphandle kokulahlekelwa ukuqina kwazo noma ukubukeka kwazo okuhle. Indwangu yemvelo emunca umswakama idonsa umjuluko esikhunjeni futhi iwuvumele ukuba uhwamuke ngokushesha, okwenza ilinen ilungele izimpilo ezisebenzayo, izifunda ezishisayo, nanoma ubani obalulekile ukuhlala ehlanzekile usuku lonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ilinen ngokwemvelo ayibangeli ukungezwani komzimba futhi ithambile ngokwedlulele esikhunjeni esizwelayo, ingenazo izinto zamakhemikhali zokwenziwa noma izithako ezicasulayo ezingadala ukungezwani komzimba, yingakho nodokotela besikhumba bevame ukuyincomela abantu abanesifo sokungezwani komzimba, i-eczema, noma ezinye izimo zesikhumba. Lezi zici ezimangalisayo zihlangene zenza ilinen ibe ukutshalwa kwezimali okuhlakaniphile kwekhwalithi okubuyisa inzuzo ekunethezekeni, empilweni, nasekuphileni isikhathi eside eminyakeni eminingi ezayo.

Enye inzuzo ebalulekile yelinen evame ukunganakwa amandla ayo aziwayo okulawula izinga lokushisa, asebenza ngezindlela ezimbili ukuze ukuhlale ukhululekile kuwo wonke amasizini onyaka. Ebusika, ukulukwa okuqinile kwendwangu kubamba ukushisa komzimba eduze kwesikhumba ngempumelelo, kunikeza izinga lokufudumala eliqhudelana noboya ngaphandle kokulunywa noma ukusinda okuhambisana nalo. Ehlobo, ukulukwa okuvulekile kanye nokumunca kwemvelo okumangalisayo kuhlangana ukudala umphumela wokupholisa ozwakala uqabula ngempela esikhumbeni, yingakho izingubo zelinen bezilokhu ziyisakhiwo esibalulekile sezingubo zasehlobo emakhulwini amaningi eminyaka. Ilinen futhi inezakhiwo zemvelo ezilwa namagciwane ezivimbela ngenkuthalo ukukhula kwamagciwane abangela iphunga, okusho ukuthi izingubo zelinen zihlala zisha kakhulu izikhathi ezinde kakhulu futhi zidinga ukuwaswa kancane kakhulu uma ziqhathaniswa nezinye izinto zokwenziwa ezifanayo. Indwangu iba ithambile futhi ikhululeke kakhudlwana ngokuwaswa ngakunye, kunokuba izekele noma ilahlekelwe ikhwalithi njengezinye izinto eziningi, futhi kancane kancane ithuthukisa ubuhle obuhlukile, obukhululekile abantu abaningi ababheka njengobufakazi bobuhle obungakahleleki. Uma ubheka ukusimama kwayo kwemvelo, ukubola ngokuphelele, kanye nomthelela omncane kwezemvelo, ilinen ivela njengenye yezindwangu eziphakeme kakhulu ezitholakalayo kuyo yonke imboni yezindwangu yanamuhla.

Awekho uhlobo olulodwa lwelineni; kunalokho, le fiber eguquguqukayo ingalukwa ibe izinhlobo eziningi ezihlukene, ngayinye inezici zayo ezithile, isisindo, ukuthungwa, kanye nokusetshenziswa okuhlosiwe okuhlangabezana nezidingo nezintandokazi ezahlukene. I-Damask linen inamaphethini alukiwe ayinkimbinkimbi avame ukusetshenziselwa amatafula asemthethweni nama-napkin anesizotha, engeza ukuthintwa okucwengekile kokudla okuhle nemicimbi ekhethekile, kuyilapho i-plain-weave linen ilula kakhulu futhi ingavamile, iyenze ilungele izingubo zasehlobo nezindwangu zasekhaya ezikhululekile. I-linen elukiwe ngokukhululekile enephethini evulekile, enokuthungwa, yaziwa ngokuthi i-evenweave noma i-hopsack linen, futhi lolu hlobo luvame ukukhethwa kwizinhlelo zokufekethisa ngoba isakhiwo sayo se-grid esibonakalayo senza ukubekwa kwemithungo okunembile kube lula kakhulu kumakhandi. I-Jacquard linen, ehlukaniswa ngamaphethini ayinkimbinkimbi alukiwe ngqo endwangu uqobo, imele enye inketho eyinkimbinkimbi ethandwayo yokuhlobisa ifenisha, izingcezu zemfashini zikanokusho, kanye nezinto zokwakha zangaphakathi eziyingqayizivele. Uhlobo ngalunye lwelineni lunikeza ibhalansi ehlukile yokugoqa, ukuthungwa, isisindo, nokuqina, okuvumela abaklami nabathengi ukuthi bakhethe indwangu efanele yezidingo zabo zomsebenzi ngokuqiniseka. Umkhiqizi welineni ohloniphekile onjengo-Ci-sheng angahlinzeka ngokuqondisa kochwepheshe okubalulekile ekukhetheni ukuluka okufanele kwezingubo, izangaphakathi, noma noma yisiphi isicelo esikhethekile ocabanga ngaso.

Ukusetshenziswa okungokoqobo kwe-linen kudlulela kude ngalé kwemingcele yemboni yezingubo, kuyenze ibe yinto ebalulekile futhi eguquguqukayo ezimbonini eziningi, ekusetshenzisweni, nasezinkambeni zobuciko. Ekhaya, i-linen iyaziswa kakhulu ezembhedeni, emakhethini, ekumbozeni ifenisha, nasezindwangu zetafula zakudala ze-linen, futhi nakuba i-tablecloth ngesiSpanishi ibizwa ngokuthi "mantel," indima yayo ebalulekile ekudleni okuhle nokuhloniphekile yamukelwa yonke indawo kuwo wonke amasiko namasiko. Imboni yezihambi iye yathembela ku-linen izizukulwane ngezizukulwane lapho ihlobisa amahhotela, izindawo zokudlela, nezindawo zokuphumula ngenxa yokuqina kwayo okumangalisayo, ukumunca okuphezulu, nokumelana nokuqina nokuphindaphindwa kokuhlanza kwezimboni. Emhlabeni wemfashini, i-linen isetshenziselwa ukwakha amasudi, amahembe, izingubo zokugqoka, amabhulukwe, nezinto eziningi zokuhlobisa, inikeza umumo okhululekile kodwa ohlanzekile osucishe wafana nokuhle kwehlobo nokunethezeka okungenamizamo. Ukusetshenziswa kwezobuchwepheshe kwe-linen kufaka phakathi imali yamaphepha, ukukhiqizwa kwephepha elihle, amaseyili abaculi, ngisho nezinto ezihlanganisiwe ezisetshenziswa ezimbonini zezimoto nezasemkhathini, konke lokhu ngenxa yesilinganiso esimangalisayo samandla nesisindo sefayibha nokuqina kwesakhiwo sayo. Lolu hlu olumangalisayo lokusetshenziswa luqinisekisa ukuthi i-linen ayiyona nje indwangu kodwa iyinto eyisisekelo emise impucuko yabantu, ezohwebo, nobuciko ngezindlela eziningi ezinomqondo.

Ukukhiqizwa kwelineni kuyinqubo ecophelelayo futhi ethakazelisayo eqala emasimini lapho isitshalo se-flax, esaziwa ngokwesayensi njenge-*Linum usitatissimum*, sitshalwa khona ngenhloso yezinso zaso ezinhle zeziqu ezingafinyelela ubude obumangalisayo obungamafidi amathathu kuya kwamane. Ngemva kokuvunwa ngokucophelela, iziqu ze-flax ziyathunyelwa enqubweni ebizwa ngokuthi i-retting, lapho zicwiliswa emanzini noma zivezwa emanzini emvelo ukuze kwehlukaniswe i-pectin ehlanganisa izinso ngazinye, futhi lesi sinyathelo esibalulekile sidingeka ukuze kukhishwe izinso ezinde, ezibushelelezi ezinikeza ilineni ikhwalithi yayo ephezulu eyaziwayo. Uma i-retting isiqediwe, iziqu ziyomiswa kahle bese ziphulwa ngomshini ukuze kuhlukaniswe umgogodla wangaphakathi we-woody kusukela ezinso zangaphandle ezithambile, eziguquguqukayo, inqubo ebizwa ngokuthi i-breaking ne-scutching. Izinso eziholekayo zibe seziyahlungwa ukuze zihambisane ngobude futhi kususwe noma yikuphi ukungcola okusele, isinyathelo esaziwa ngokuthi i-hackling, ngaphambi kokuba ekugcineni ziphothwe zibe yimicu eqinile ezolukwa noma iziswe zibe yindwangu eqediwe. Lolu hambo lonke kusukela esitshalweni se-flax kuya endwangu ludinga ikhono elikhethekile, isikhathi esiningi, nokunemba okucophelelayo, yingakho ilineni yangempela ibiza intengo ephezulu emakethe kunezinye izindwangu eziningi eziqhudelanayo. Abakhiqizi banamuhla abafana no-Ci-sheng baye bahlanza ngokucophelela lezi zindlela zasendulo ngemishini ethuthukile yendwangu ukuze bathuthukise ukukhiqiza kuyilapho belondoloza ngokucophelela ubunjalo bemvelo nekhwalithi ephezulu yezinso.

Ngemva kokuba imicu idalwe ngempumelelo, ilukwa ibe yindwangu emishinini eyinkimbinkimbi yokuluka ekwazi ukukhiqiza izinhlobonhlobo zokuluka, kusukela ekulukeni okulula okuvamile kuya kumaphethini ayinkimbinkimbi kakhulu njenge-herringbone, i-twill, kanye nemiklamo eyinkimbinkimbi ye-jacquard. Indwangu yelinen esanda kulukwa ibe isehlulelwa uchungechunge lwezinqubo zokuqeda ezithuthukisa ukubukeka nokusebenza kwayo, okuhlanganisa ukumhlophezela ukuze kutholakale umbala omhlophe omuhle, ukudaywa ukuze kunikezwe imibala egqamile nehlala isikhathi eside, kanye nokwelashwa okukhethekile kokuthambisa okunciphisa ukuqina kokuqala kwendwangu nokuthuthukisa ukugoqeka kwayo. Ukulawulwa kwekhwalithi kuhlala kubaluleke kakhulu kuyo yonke inqubo yokukhiqiza, njengoba wonke umugqa wendwangu uhlolwa ngokucophelela ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukufana kokuthungwa, ukuqina kombala, namandla okudonsa ngaphambi kokuba ulungiselelwe ukuthunyelwa kubakhiqizi bezingubo, abaklami bangaphakathi, namakhasimende ezitolo emhlabeni wonke. Inqubo ephelele, kusukela ekutshalweni kwembewu yeflax yokuqala kuya ekulethweni komkhiqizo wokugcina oqediwe, ingathatha isikhathi esingaphezu konyaka ukuze iqedwe, okubonisa ubuhlakani obumangalisayo, ubuciko, nokuzinikela okukhona ekukhiqizweni kwelinen yekhwalithi ephezulu. Le nqubo edla isikhathi inomthelela ngqo ezindlekweni eziphakeme zelinen yangempela uma iqhathaniswa nezindwangu zokwenziwa, kodwa ikhwalithi, ukuqina, nobuhle obumphumela wayo kuyithethelela ngaphezu kokutshalwa kwezimali okwengeziwe. Ukuqonda le nqubo enemininingwane kusiza abathengi ukuba bathuthukise ukwazisa okungokweqiniso ngeveli enkulu ekhona kuwo wonke umgodi welinen yangempela abakhetha ukuwuthenga.

Uma kuqhathaniswa ilineni nokotini, kubalulekile ukuqonda ukuthi kokubili kuyimicu yemvelo enezici ezihlukile ezenza zifanelekele ukusetshenziswa okuhlukahlukene, futhi akukho nanye kulezi zinto ezimbili ezingcono kunenye kuyo yonke indlela yokulinganisa. Imicu kakotini imfushane futhi ithambile kakhulu kuneyelineni, okunikeza ukotini ukuthamba okuthintekayo okungatholakali elineni ekuqaleni; nokho, imicu yelineni iqine kakhulu, inamandla okuqina acishe aphindwe kabili kunekotini, okwenza izingubo zelineni nezindwangu ziqine kakhulu esikhathini eside. Ukotini umunca amanzi ngokushesha kunelineni, kodwa ilineni linamandla amahle kakhulu okukhipha umswakama nokuhwamuka, okusho ukuthi ilineni empeleni lizwa lomile esikhumbeni ezimweni zezulu ezishisayo nezinomswakama. Ukotini uyashwabana kalula njengelineni, kodwa kuyilapho imishwabano kakotini ngokuvamile ithathwa njengento ejwayelekile futhi engathandeki, imishwabano yelineni yamukelwa kahle njengengxenye ebalulekile yobuhle bemvelo, bokukhululeka, nobuciko bendwangu. Ngokombono wemvelo, ilineni lidinga amanzi amancane kakhulu ukulima uma liqhathaniswa nokotini, futhi isitshalo sonke se-flax singasetshenziswa ngaphandle kokulahleka okuningi, okwenza ilineni libe ukukhetha okusimeme ngempela kubathengi namabhizinisi abanakekela imvelo. Zombili lezi zindwangu ziyizinketho ezinhle zemvelo, futhi ungaziqhathanisa eceleni kwekhasi lezindwangu zikakotini e-Ci-sheng ukuze wenze isinqumo esinolwazi olugcwele ngephrojekthi yakho ethile.

Ngokwezindleko, ilineni ngokuvamile liyabiza kakhulu kunokotini ngoba likhiqizwa ngomsebenzi omningi kakhulu, nesivuno esiphansi ngehektare, kanye nenqubo yokucubungula eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu kusukela ensimini kuya kwindwangu eqediwe. Nokho, ukuqina okuphawulekayo kwelineni kusho ukuthi lihlala isikhathi eside kakhulu kunokotini uma linakekelwa kahle, okungagcina kwenze ilineni libe nezindleko eziphansi kakhulu esikhathini sonke sokuphila kwengubo noma kwendwangu. Ukucwebezela kwemvelo kwelineni kunikeza ukubukeka okucwengekile nokuhle kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa nokuthambeka kokotini, yingakho nje ilineni livame ukukhethwa ezingutsheni ezisemthethweni, emibhedeni yokunethezeka, nasekuhlobiseni ikhaya okuphezulu. Mayelana nokuhlanganisa, ilineni nokotini kungahlanganiswa ngobuchule ukuze kudalwe indwangu ehlanganisiwe enikeza izimfanelo ezinhle kakhulu zakho kokubili, lapho ukuthamba kokotini kugcwalisa kahle amandla abalulekile nelineni eliphefumulayo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, umkhiqizo wendwangu ye-hemp otholakala e-Ci-sheng unikeza enye indlela yemvelo ephambili eqhudelana nokotini nelineni ngokuqina, ukuqina, nokusebenza kahle. Ekugcineni, ukukhetha phakathi kwelineni nokotini kuncike ngokuphelele ezintweni ozibeké phambili, noma ngabe ukuqina okuphezulu nokusimama kwelineni noma ukuthamba kokuqala nokufinyeleleka kwezindleko kokotini.

Ukunakekela ilinen kahle kubaluleke kakhulu ukuze kugcinwe ukubukeka kwendwangu, ukuthamba kwayo, nokuphila isikhathi eside, futhi naphezu kwemibono engalungile evamile, ukunakekela ilinen empeleni kulula uma ulandela imigomo embalwa eyisisekelo kodwa ebalulekile. Izinto eziningi zelinen zingagezwa ngomshini ngokuphephile emanzini abandayo noma afudumele kancane nge-cyclic gentle, kusetshenziswa umswakama othambile ongena-chlorine bleach nhlobo nemikhiqizo enobudlova engalimaza imicu yemvelo ezwakalayo. Ukuze uthole imiphumela emihle kakhulu, ilinen kufanele yomiswe emoyeni njalo lapho kunokwenzeka, kungaba ngokuyilenga entanjeni yezimpahla emthunzini noma ukuyibeka isicaba endaweni ehlanzekile neyomile, ngoba ukushisa okuphezulu kwe-tumble dryer kungabangela ukufinyela okweqile futhi kunciphise kancane kancane ukuqina kwendwangu. Uma kudingeka ngempela usebenzise i-dryer, khetha izinga lokushisa eliphansi kakhulu elikhona bese ukhipha izinto ngokushesha zisemanzi kancane ukuze unciphise ukushwabana nokugoqeka. Imibimbi yelinen iyisici semvelo sendwangu futhi empeleni inomthelela ekubukekeni kwayo okukhululekile nokungenamunyu, kodwa kulabo abathanda ukubukeka okubushelelezi nokuhle kakhulu, uku-ayina indwangu isemanzi kancane kuveza imiphumela ehlanzekile nehle kakhulu. Ngokunakekelwa okungaguquki nokufanele, izingubo zelinen ezisezingeni eliphezulu zingahlala amashumi eminyaka kalula, yingakho imindeni eminingi ngothando idlulisela amatafula elinen, ama-napkin, nokulala njengefa eliyigugu kusuka esizukulwaneni nesisizukulwane.

Ngezindwangu zelineni ezidinga ukuhlanzwa okujulile ngezikhathi ezithile, njengamatafula amahle elineni, izembozo zokuhlobisa, nezingubo ezithambile, izinsizakalo zokuhlanzwa okomsebenzi zingaba yinketho efaneleke kakhulu, ikakhulukazi ezintweni ezinemininingwane eyinkimbinkimbi, imicu yokuhlobisa, noma amabala angenakususwa kalula. Lapho ugcina ilineni isikhathi eside, indwangu kufanele yome ngokuphelele futhi igoqwe ngokucophelela noma igqitshwe kunokuba ilengiswe, ngoba ukulengisa kungabangela ukuba indwangu yeluleke, ihlanekeze, futhi ilimale unomphela ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, futhi ukuyigcina endaweni epholile, eyomile, enomoya omuhle kuzovikela ngempumelelo ukukhula kwesikhutha, iphunga lokungcola, nomonakalo wezinambuzane. Ukuze ususe amabala elineni ngempumelelo, elaphe ngokushesha okukhulu usebenzisa isisusi samabala esithambile, esine-pH engathathi hlangothi, futhi njalo gwema ukuhlikihla indwangu ngamandla ngoba lokhu kungalimaza imicu futhi kusakaze ibala ezindaweni ezizungezile. Imibhede yelineni ikakhulukazi izuza ngokugezwa ngaphambi kokusetshenziswa kwayo kokuqala, okuthambisa ngempumelelo imicu futhi kuthuthukise kakhulu ukumunca kwamanzi, futhi ukugeza ngakunye okulandelayo kuthuthukisa nokunye ukunethezeka kwendwangu, ukuthungwa, nekhwalithi yonke. Abanye abathandi belineni abanolwazi batusa ukucwilisa izingubo ezintsha zelineni emanzini anosawoti omncane ngaphambi kokugeza kokuqala ukuze kusize ukuqinisa imibala nokunciphisa ukuphela kwemibala esikhathini esizayo, nakuba lesi sinyathelo singeyona into ephoqelekile ezingutsheni eziningi ezinemibala. Ukuqonda lezi zimfuneko eziphelele zokunakekela kuzokusiza ukuthi ujabulele ngokugcwele zonke izinzuzo zendwangu yelineni ngaphandle kokukhathazeka okuvame ukuhamba nokuba nemikhiqizo ethambile.

Ilineni yaziwa kabanzi njengenye yezindwangu ezisimeme kakhulu ezitholakala emakethe namuhla, okuyinto emele isici esibalulekile ekukhuleni kwayo okusheshayo ekuthandeni phakathi kwabathengi abanakekela imvelo, imikhiqizo enokuziphatha okuhle, nabaklami abagxile ekusimameni. Isitshalo se-flax sidinga amanzi amancane kakhulu ukutshalwa, sincike kakhulu emvuleni yemvelo esikhundleni sezinhlelo zokunisela ezisebenzisa amandla amaningi, futhi singatshalwa ngempumelelo ngaphandle kwezanyana zamakhemikhali nezibulala-zinambuzane ezindaweni eziningi ezifanele zezulu emhlabeni wonke. Ingxenye ngayinye yesitshalo se-flax iyasetshenziswa ekukhiqizeni, kusukela emicabangweni emide ye-bast esetshenziselwa ukwakha indwangu kuya ezimbewini ezinomsoco ezisetshenziselwa ukudla, uwoyela, nokudla kwezilwane, ngaleyo ndlela kudala umjikelezo wokukhiqiza ongenamfucuza ngempela ongavamile kakhulu ekukhiqizeni kwesimanje. Ilineni ibola ngokuphelele emvelweni, okusho ukuthi ibola ngokwemvelo futhi ngokuphelele ekupheleni komjikelezo wayo wokuphila owusizo ngaphandle kokushiya izinsalela eziyingozi, ngokungafani nemicu yokwenziwa ehlala ezindaweni zokulahla imfucuza iminyaka engamakhulu.
