long straw
Winning random selection
Long straw is a method of thatching roofs using unbroken wheat or rye stalks, traditionally applied with the stems running the full length of the roof.
The technique produces a shaggy, textured appearance distinct from the tidier look of combed wheat reed.
Long straw thatching is particularly associated with traditional English cottages: The cottage still has its original long straw roof.
