How to practice craftsmanship in our work

When linen is beautifully woven the lines are uniform. Tight tracks march seamlessly through the fabric, without a hitch, without a bump. A well woven piece of linen is strong and durable whilst remaining light and free. But this is not normal. Cheap linens covered in the scars of a rushed process, full of irregularities and slubs, show that when craftsmanship is not there, the work suffers. Bed sheets, lounges, shirts, so much of the world is unfortunately drenched in linen cloth that was bruised in its making. Ready to rip after a few wears. This comparative outcome, between work done well and work done poorly, is governed by the individual who tends to the work itself.
