Been playing with nettle fibre today. Processed some a little more and had a go at cordage. This is my first attempt.
Exclusive online UK screening of #TheNettleDress:
Textile artist Allan Brown spends seven years making a dress by hand, using only the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles. This is ‘hedgerow couture’, the
greenest of #SlowFashion. It’s also the medicine that helps him survive the death of his wife, which leaves him and their four children bereft, and how he finds a beautiful way to honour her.
