Advanced nettle fiber course: From stalk to yarn
Overview
Intro
Experimental natural handicrafts
Have you already made your first ball of yarn from stinging nettle and would now like to delve deeper into the art of fiber production? Then this advanced course is just right for you! We will build directly on your initial experience with stinging nettle as a fiber: You will deepen your technique in peeling the harvested stalks, learn how to peel the fibers precisely and how to process them by hand so that they are ideal for tying to your first yarn for spinning. You will also learn how this versatile plant can be further refined using simple natural craft techniques - for creative applications that go far beyond spinning.
Just like in the fairy tale of Rumpelstiltskin, "nettle fibers turn to gold" with patience and a little skill. The nettle is harvested and processed from fiber to yarn. We will work and refine with our hands.
For the main course, bring a vegetarian contribution for the shared lunch buffet and enjoy the day with all your senses.
