Flax (Broken) is one of the worked stages of flax fibre on its way to Thread. This page covers four stages that share the same weight: Flax (Broken), Flax (Dried), Flax (Scutched) and Flax (Heckled).
Each stage feeds the next tool in the flax chain. Flax (Dried) goes to the Ripple Comb. Flax (Scutched) goes to the Heckle Comb. Flax (Heckled) goes to the Spinning Wheel, where it becomes Thread.
All of them start as Flax grown on a farm plot and worked by hand. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Flax (Dried) is the first worked stage. The Ripple Flax recipe combs it on a Ripple Comb. The result is Flax (Rippled) plus a handful of Flax Seeds for the next crop.
Flax (Scutched) is the clean fibre after the Scutching Board. The Heckle Flax recipe combs it on a Heckle Comb. It gives Flax (Heckled) and a piece of Flax Tow.
Flax (Heckled) is the finest stage. The Spin Thread from Flax recipe turns one piece into Thread at a Spinning Wheel. Flax Tow, the leftover from heckling, is not wasted. The Craft Twine recipe turns it into Twine.
How to Get Flax (Broken)
Flax (Dried) comes from drying fresh Flax on a large drying rack. Flax (Scutched) comes from the Scutch Fibre recipe. That recipe works Flax (Rippled) on a Scutching Board with a fibre breaking tool and a dull knife, which are kept. Flax (Heckled) comes from the Heckle Flax recipe at a Heckle Comb.
Variations
The Flax (Broken) comes in 4 versions with the same stats. Only the look and the name change.

Notes
- The four stages look different but weigh the same.
- Each stage needs its own station, so a full flax workshop holds a Ripple Comb, Scutching Board, Heckle Comb and Spinning Wheel.
- Rippling dried flax returns Flax Seeds.
- Heckling gives Flax Tow for Twine as a bonus.
