Dear Gesine

I published an article on nettle fibre textiles in HALI some years back that might be of interest to you.

Subject: nettle objects

Dear all,

I´m a student at the University of Applied Arts in Germany and I am 
working on an essay about the history of nettle (Urtica dioica) objects 
in Europe.

It is really difficult to find published objects. I found a few things 
in the scandinavian region and from switzerland but apart from that 
there are not so many object.

Do you have objects in your museums or are you aware of one?

I am hoping for your help.

Sincerely yours

Gesine Klaffke
