Nettle fibers
The common nettle, Urtica dioica, is found in all temperate areas of the world.
It grows successfully in nitrogen rich and ultra-fertilized soils.
Nettle is not only sustainable, it is also able to improve the environment in which it grows, by helping to control soil erosion and prevent landslides.
Nettle fiber is characterized by its shine. It has high resistance to traction and wrinkling, and its softness is similar to that of cotton.
The fibers are extremely absorbent, antimicrobial and antibacterial.
