Harvested flax Explanation: This could be paraphrased as: "Hand embroidered blouse in a harvested flax linen" I would use this term "Harvested" because it is not too specialised, but still encompasses the technical processes concerned in on a very general level. "Women .... grew and harvested flax for linen" http://www.womeninthebible.net/3.3.Clothing_housing.htm "What methods were used to harvest flax in the past?" http://www.bbc.co.uk/northernireland/forteachers/linen/made/... "The harvested flax is then left in bundles...." http://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http://www.learningseed.com/_g... Example sentence(s):

lawn Explanation: referă atât pânza de in, cât şi pe cea de bumbac, dar dacă publicul nu e(ra) foarte specializat, aceasta este o traducere generală pentru pânză topită. ps: pentru referinţă, în caz că mai caută cineva pânza topită şi nu găseşte traducerea în engleză; cum am păţit eu :) Reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lawn Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawn_cloth |
