Heather plants a few years old are like small trees. They have tough gnarly trunks which divide into springy twigs and tiny leaves. I’ve read that in the Hebrides they made rope from heather. They must have had great patience, and big hands.

Heather must be very difficult to work with. I would think it would hard on the hands!!

Having neither patience or big hands this particular form of craft wouldn’t be for me 🙂
