Dandelion Cordage

Discover the hidden strength of a common wild plant in this hands-on beginner class focused on making cordage from dandelion stems. Learn how to identify, harvest, and prepare dandelions for twisting into strong, natural twine. We’ll guide you through basic cordage techniques using dried stems, and explore how this simple skill can be applied to other wild materials. This is a great introduction to plant-based fiber arts and a fun way to see everyday “weeds” in a whole new light.
