Reader Comment of the Day
My weird hobby is only weird because of the medium: I grow stinging nettle to turn into fiber to turn into yarn to perhaps someday weave and then sew a garment. I also do the pokey invasive thistles but mostly just to do something with them after they get uprooted. It's the easiest gardening I do, and the most challenging fiber craft. I don't yet know exactly how to process and spin the fiber, but every attempt brings me closer to my lifetime goal: nettle denim pants.
