Bow string detail.png


It takes approximately 50 seconds to spin a full inventory of 28 flax, granting a total of 420 xp. A conveniently located spinning wheel can be found on the middle floor of Lumbridge Castle. Including travel time, an inventory can be spun in approximately 75 seconds here, which equates to 48 inventories, 1344 bowstrings and just over 20k crafting xp per hour.

The Kandarin medium diary allows players to spin flax 33% faster at the spinning wheel in Seer's Village. A full inventory of 28 flax takes 65 seconds after completion of the diary, including bank time.

Historically, the most popular place to spin flax into bowstrings was Seers' Village, as there was a flax field not far from the spinning wheel and bank. However with the addition of the bank at the top of Lumbridge Castle, it became on par with, or slightly better than, Seers' Village, if flax was pre-picked. Later on, an even better spinning wheel was added, this time on Neitiznot. While technically further from a bank than Lumbridge, travelling to the bank in Neitiznot does not require passing through a stair, thus making travel easier. In order to use the spinning wheel, players must have started The Fremennik Isles quest and have reached the part where they are able to go to Neitiznot.
