Hello there Ethical fashion Forum,
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
Hi I wanted to be in London this month but it's proving undo-able. I saw an EFF branch in USA but perhaps we could start more as I live in Seattle WA;
Right now i am contacting some Urban Craft Uprising refashioners for a show at a local Sustainable Festival for the 26th and maybe they will be interested in joining EFF
In the States, especially close by.?..please contact me. the more we learn from each other, the better.
