Just came across the trailer. It’s amazing what went into this dress!

I would love to know how the nettle is processed. I have stinging nettle galore here. I have to wear gloves and long sleeves to handle it.

It's incredible! I recall watching a video many ages ago about turning nettle into cloth on Youtube, maybe you could try there - I think the sting is easy enough to get rid of if you process it right.

Thank you!! I originally wrote that part of the newsletter in September, and I didn't see that screening time then! I'm looking forward to watching!

The Nettle Dress seems so interesting! I became aware of it through the Long Thread Media podcast, and have since learned that people outside of the UK or Ireland can purchase tickets for an online screening for later this month
