During rippling, an iron comb helps separate the flax seeds.

Reading options

On 27 June 2026, Pedraça hosted the second stage of the Flax Cycle, devoted to rippling. The municipal report explains the action: drawing the plant through an iron comb to separate the capsules containing the flax seeds.

In the gallery, look for the comb, bundles and hands. The photographs record that event, not a demonstration available every day.
