  • I literally have the setup from the cover of your book and was out extracting nettle fibres today. You have preempted my dream good sir. Wooooo! Lovely people and lovely ideas.

  • Thank you for this - you have spurred me on! I just took up spinning and now - I am off to gather nettles!!!

  • wow, this is EXACLTY what I have been looking for!!!! Thank you for what you are doing!!!!! Back to the ROOTS!!!

  • Nettle rocks!

    We already made fashion collections from Nettle.

  • Very interesting! I bought the book online today, and am looking forward to reading it when it arrives.

  • thank you! i knew you could make clothes of nettle, and i really like the idea of local production of food and fibres!

    now i don't want anyone harm, but i think when this entire global trading goes down, as it's fragile and oil-dependant, people will be glad to be able to fall back on something more local, and maybe they won't look down on the humble nettle, but instead give it the respect it deserves!
