Oxfam Online Shop

In her quest to find the simplest way to get spinnable fibres from nettles, Birte Ford experimented with dew and water retting, the two traditional methods for retting flax and hemp. While both these methods work well for nettles, Birte found a simpler method for a cold northern European climate, which she termed root retting. This book is about her work with wild nettles and her results. A book that has been read, but is in very good condition. Glaze pictorial hardcover. Some shelf-wear bumps and creases are evident e.g. scuff marks, but no holes or tears. Binding has minimal wear. The pages are undamaged but may have some slight creasing but this is very minimal. It is clean and bright inside with little wear to edges. It contains many colour images. There is no owner inscription. A particularly well-preserved copy overall.
