Hello there Davinia,
I have been working with natural fibres in Nepal for a long time now and can supply you with fibre, yarns, textiles, as well as finished goods. Please have a look at www.heavenhemp.co.uk and www.wildweaves.co.uk to get an idea of what we do. I work with hemp, nettle, cactus, banana, bamboo . Hope to hear from you and would like to be your friend. Take care,

sure I can get swatches together and post them to you. It would be better if you could send me mails directly to kmtrading@mos.com.np . I am getting some swatches together for others and I will get one out to you too. Send me your5 postal address. Take care,

I could only suggest markets re fabric in ghana....i think east africa is better or organic cotton but then they do have cotton farms in west africa ....
if you do need anything made up i have a workshop in accra that i am working with on my label and they have local tailors sewing so you would be helping to support a community - if interested let me know!
i am presently sending work out there to be made up and if you needed anything to go then you can add on to my shipment when i do them now or later in the season
i will also be in ghana at christmas and possibly some point around easter - depending on finances but let me knw what you need or plan to do and we can see how the workshop may be of help
