How does flax connect together?

On a documentary, I see soft pieces of flax, it enters a machine and comes out as a continuous strand of material. They talk about twisting fibres together but how would twisting permanently interlock these pieces into one long strand? Wouldn't it just unravel?

    The same basic method used in most fibre based yarns. Consider cotton. It doesn't unravel.
