I just love natural fibres and also love working with them. In this modern times were man-made fibres are more and more taking over, I was very happy to see that 2009 is the year of natural fibres.
We can distinguish 2 groups of natural fibres:
- plant fibres such as cotton, hemp, flax, ramie, nettle, sisal...
- animal fibres such as wool, silk, alpaca, angora, mohair...
You can find very detailed information on the website of the International Year of Natural Fibres: http://www.naturalfibres2009.org/
I will post a monthly feature on the use of a natural fibre for the rest of this year with some easy projects that you can do at home.
