00:03 [WATER SPLASHING]

00:05 It's like the history of the last seven years crystallized

00:09 into this material.

00:11 Seven summers, seven seasons of nettle,

00:14 seven winters of spinning.

00:16 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:19 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:21 During the whole process of doing this, my dad's died.

00:25 I was sitting by his bedside spinning nettle.

00:28 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:30 And then Alex being ill, and her dying.

00:34 Inadvertently, all that going into the thread.

00:40 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:42 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:46 [TAPPING]

00:48 So exciting.

00:49 Nettle dress, here we go.

00:51 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

00:53 [RUSTLING]

00:58 Cloth made that way must be magical somehow.

01:05 It's going to protect you.

01:06 Off she comes.

01:10 [RUSTLING]

01:13 Oh my god, I can actually feel it.

01:17 Just want to get in it.

01:20 It's going to be nice to actually shape it

01:23 to one of the children.

01:26 The love that you've put into the cloth can be worn.

01:29 What it's made from is free and forageable,

01:36 a renewable thing.

01:38 It definitely feels like there's lots of memories and love

01:42 through this whole thing.

01:43 Obviously, everything with mom, I think me and dad got much

01:46 closer.

01:47 And I feel quite invested in the whole process.

01:49 So it's nice that I can wear it and be part of it.

01:52 [BIRDS CHIRPING]

01:55 I just had no idea if it was at all possible.

02:00 There it is.

02:01 [GIGGLING]

02:05 It's like the nettles gave me this gift.

02:08 It felt like I was being transformed by the nettle

02:12 rather than the other way around.
