nettle lace robe
Handmade using handspun and handknitted nettle fibre. The knitting is done in an intricate lace technique.
Each robe may differ slightly as each one is individually considerately made, and the lace pattern may vary from dress to dress.
Nettle is a sustainable raw natural fibre and the colour and thickness also will vary from piece to piece making each garment unique.
Nettle fibre has been used in textiles since antiquity and is very durable and is one of the most sustainable fabrics.
Nettle has resisted industrialisation and is showing us the way back to an older way of doing things – slow folk cloth as opposed to commercial cloth.
Nettle is the most readily available high quality textile fibre that grows wild and can be easily foraged. Nettle grows and thrives in the waste left by humans and their domesticated livestock, and as well as fibre, Nettle is also used as medicine and food.
The relationship between ourselves and nettles is an ancient one.
Nettle fibres soften over time with each wearing and washing, resembling the softness of silk after time and some wearing and washing.
This garment is made completely from the natural raw colour of the nettle which contains many subtle organic natural tones and shades within the cloth.
How to wear:
Layer over anything.
Size: Free size
