Hi Guys!
I'm excited. I work for a University in the Biological Sciences and one of
the professors was studying cotton plants (as well as some others) for one
of her plants. She just gave me about 5 cotton plants for my feeble
attempt at a garden I'm doing this year. I've tried growing some on my won
but they never sprouted. (even after I scarified the seeds). i think they
were sterile seeds since they came from a hybrid plant. These are your
plain old white cotton but I'm pretty excited.
i also may have a kumihimo loom available soon for someone who might like
it. I need to see if I have all the parts. Kimihimo is a form of cord
weaving done in Japan. They make miles of it for lacing armor - obi ties
and generally cordage. I may also have a tiny sampler loom as well.
