Proverbs 31:13 (New Living Translation)
13 She finds wool and flax
and busily spins it.
————
Wool, of course, is the wavy or curly undercoat of a sheep which can be woven into a warm garment or fabric. Even today we wear wool sweaters or mittens to protect us from the cold.
Flax was a fibrous plant used in spinning that can be twisted into yarn or threat for the manufacture of linen. The godly woman “seeks” wool and flax, these two basic materials to use in making clothes and garments, but in todays day and age that might be something very rare.
I sometimes wish that I knew how to sew and make clothing etc. but since I do not, it is important for me to learn that I must spend wisely on the clothes that I purchase for myself and my family. I should not be frivolous and wasteful. I should also handle the clothes with care so that they may last longer, not having to go out and spend more money.
