We cut dogbane today.It is a small woody plant, a close relative to milkweed, for making cordage. It is strong and more durable than hemp. The indiginous folks used it for traps and snares. We use it for the cord of out necklaces. It lasts a long time and softens quickly. We stripped the small branches off and bundled the stalks for later processing.
