Good morning, Guðrum!  My morning, this time. <G>  It was just one of those
nights..... <G>
Speaking of nettle fiber... I would love to make some nettle cloth, but
don't have access to nettle.  Isn't it true that they don't sting after a
frost?  Or is that just a myth?
Eventually, the hemp industry will return to the States, I hope.  I really
can't see why hemp, of the non-hallucigenic kind, should have been
demonized.  Ah, well.  Cotton was king.
Anyway, if anyone has a suggestion for a source for nettle yarn or thread,
I'm interested.
