This takes me back to my youth. The Dipsacus or Teasle used back in the day in the wool industry to tease wool, basically to comb in into nice manageable threads. Coming from an old wool town I know this. Actually this is the first time I have ever seen one growing, they are normally dried by the time I see them. I like the colour, when dried they’re a wheaty, light yellow colour, but here they remind me more of a thistle with the green with a hint of purple.

All I need now is a few sheep and I can start making some cloth.
