SUMMARY:NALA Social & Networking: Guest Speakers Rosie Bristow and Nick Evans (NALA Members Event)
DESCRIPTION:Rosie Bristow and Nick Evans of Fantasy Fibre Mill connects regenerative agriculture to ethical fashion\, producing natural fibre yarn which is grown\, processed and spun in the UK. They aim to disrupt the extractive and exploitative fashion supply chain and instead produce textiles which nurture the local environment and community. So far they have grown a hectare of flax\, built three prototype processing machines\, made lots of yarn samples and undertaken a big research project into the viability of building a soil-to-soil textile economy in the UK. \nZoom link will be provided to all NALA members.
