Nettle
Hypoallergenic,
Resistant, Precious.
Nettle is a vegetable fiber obtained from wild nettle (Urtica dioica), a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Urticaceae family. Thanks to its high resistance to pathogens and stinging properties, its cultivation does not require the use of herbicides and anti-parasites.
Long, shiny and uniform, nettle is a highly sought-after fiber.
It is elastic, resists twisting, and unlike other fibers, its strength increases over time. Excellent thin and flexible yarns are obtained from the nettle which are also strong and tenacious.
The nettle fiber is soft, resistant and breathable like linen, shiny like silk. It is a natural fiber, 100% biodegradable, which also has antistatic properties.
