The Wild Dyery “Woman Grows Jeans” Film
The Wild Dyery have started a month long fundraiser, where the newly released “Woman Grows Jeans” film can be viewed online until the 12th July 2025 with all proceeds going towards funding the work of Northern England Fibreshed.
The 50 minute film looks as the journey of growing jeans from scratch, the reconnecting to land, lineage and skills, and what it means to rewild the environment.
The link to buy a ticket and watch the film is here, and the trailer can be found here.
“Let’s Grow Flax” Jeans Project
“Let’s Grow Flax”, a communal grass roots initiative make linen denim jeans which go beyond creating a sustainable garment - they embody a radically new way to approach fashion and clothing production. Inspired by Fibreshed’s ‘soil to soil’ ethos, they demonstrate the potential for a circular, regenerative textile system that uses local materials, local labour, and local networks.
London City Farm Yarn Project
The London City Farm Yarn Project run by Justine Lee was created to address the fact that each year, sheep from London's City farms produce over a ton of fleece, including wool from some very special and rare sheep breeds, but unfortunately most of this ends up as waste (as these farms are too small to process their wool). The project has been collecting, processing and spinning this wool, and making it into products such as hand knitting yarn, hats, gloves, knitting packs and blankets. The farmers themselves are supported through the sale of knitting packs.
