BeeKaymakes Nettle Processing Demo

Did you know that local stinging nettles could be used for making yarn and textiles? This short demo shows how to process the local stinging nettle into fibre that can be spun into yarn. In fact, stinging nettles have been used as a fibre plant for textiles for over 3000 year in the UK. Plus, nettles are an ancient fibre for a sustainable future. Brigitte from BeeKayMakes teaches nettle fibre workshops and weaves nettle tweed products like cushions and gifts.
