Hi all,
Lots of great info and advice in this forum or 'thread'
. I've got a few patches of nettles growing around me and have so far used them for teas and in soups/stews. Another of my hobbies is weaving and I'm very interested being able to use nettles and other plants as a fibre also.
I've had a bit of a go with a drop spindle and a sheep's fleece I bought last year, getting a steady thickness is tricky. I've mainly used the fleece on a peg loom to make a rug but have been lucky enough to have a friend who made me an Inkle loom so the nettle fibres would be great to use on this.
Basically I've had a little go with fibres and want to have a try of everything!! How rewarding to be able to make something to wear from something growing in the garden!
The book looks like a great place to start.
