A method of manufacturing wound dressing material using flax fibres, preferably wetted with a water and linseed or hempseed oil emulsion of maximum concentration of 2%, wound on a winding machine, said winding machine having a spindle with a block containing a friction reducing agent, is characterized in that a flax fibre of 38.46 to 66.67 TEX and Number metric Nm of 15 to 26 LML for preparing a knitted dressing fabric is wound at least once on a winding machine with a variable speed of 400 to 500 rpm, wherein a friction reducing agent is applied onto the flax fibre during winding, wherein the flax fibre is wound onto the feed spool of the winding machine, wherein the flax fibre is subsequently subjected to a knitting process, wherein during the said knitting process one thread of the flax fabric is used to obtain a rib weft knitted fabric, wherein the course count CC of the said knitted fabric is between 4/1cm and 6.5/1cm and the wale count WC of the said knitted fabric is between 3/1cm and 5/1cm. A wound dressing material made with the use of flax fibres is characterized in that it is a rib weft knitted fabric made of one flax thread of average linear mass density of the fibre between 38.46 and 66.67 TEX and of Number metric N m between 26 and 15 LML and having elasticity between 120% and 180%, wherein the course count CC of the said knitted fabric is between 4/1cm a nd 6,5/1cm and the wale count WC of the said knitted fabric is between 3/1cm and 5/1cm.Linvention concerne un procédé de fabrication dun matériau de pansement de plaie à laide de fibres de lin, de préférence mouillées avec une émulsion deau et dhuile de lin ou dhuile de chanvre ayant une concentration maximale de 2 %, enroulé sur une machine denroulement, ladite machine denroulement présentant un axe avec un bloc contenant un agent de réduction de frottement, caractérisé en ce quune fibre de lin de 38,46 à 66,67 TEX et un nombre métrique Nm de 15 à 26 LML pour préparer un tissu de pansement tricoté es
