    Hello there Sian,
    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 . I also have a small workshop where we make bags, clothing and rugs from natural fibres. Hope to hear from you and would like to be your friend. Take care,
    Udaya

    Hey sian!

    Woops sorry I just noticed this comment part of the EFN! But so if you decide to try and have a social next month that would be great! Once you figure out a date let me know and I'll definately try and get some of our members to come along! Hmm I dont think there will be more than about 5-10 ppl though if thats ok?
    And yep, joining the cov society sounds like a good idea!
