The founders of a project to grow hemp for fine fabric hope to revive an ancient textile industry.
Kitty Wilson Brown and her business partner Claire O’Sullivan are celebrating the start of their third hemp harvest
They said the production of fine hemp textile was an important and thriving industry for hundreds of years in the Waveney Valley. They also run a Hemp Harvest Retreat in August each year for people to stay at the farm, get involved with harvesting the crop and learn more about spinning, natural dyeing and weaving.
