Its impossible to understand what a yard of linen is without comparing it to another commodity not of itself.
Thinking we need some kind of universal equivalent to enable the trade of commodities because I'm losing track of it all.
It's like a meter of fabric
5% of a coat
A miserable pile of secrets
Bit idea: it's the Vampire Killer but it's made out of linen and there's a little pillow at the end and you use it when you're pillow fighting with the fellas
But enough discourse, have at you
Dammit!
A breathable weave of flax.
you take a bolt of linen, measure a yard and cut it
Well linen is a cloth made from the fibers of the flax plant and I guess a yard of it would be 3 square feet
Makes me wonder what the total surface area of all my clothes is
1/20th of a coat
It is the crystallisation of all the hours of abstract human labour power contained within it, duh.
