'Wild Grass Thatch by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/11455767): my entry in Spoonflower's 'Wild Grasses' Design Challenge. Original: Line art. © Su Schaefer 2021 A range of wild and cultivated plant material was traditionally used as thatch, including straw, reeds, sedges and wild grasses. Thatch materials today are usually straw (wheat, oat, sometimes rye) or reeds. In the past, the material used was generally by-product of local agricultural activity but changes to these practices (e.g. machine – rather than hand – harvesting leading to shorter stems) has decreased the supply of useful thatching straw. Today’s thatchers may have to source straw from specialised growers at distance, and new materials and techniques have diluted the regional styles which once dominated. – see ‘Thatch: a guide to the repair of thatched roofs’ @ https://www.buildingsofireland.ie Original: Line art, basic repeat.
