Designer/brand: Fantasy Fibre Mill

Fantasy Fibre Mill connects regenerative agriculture to ethical textiles, producing natural flax fibre yarn grown, processed and spun in the UK. With the aim of disrupting the extractive and exploitative supply chains and instead producing textiles which nurture the local environment and community. 

So far Fantasy Fibremill have grown a hectare of flax, built four 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. These samples show the process from straw to fibre, to yarn to fabric.
