National Woollen & Finishers

Nettles are perennials, which means they don't have to be reseeded each year to grow back insubsequent years. They are also naturally resistant to diseases and pests and, unlike cotton, don'trequire pesticides to flourish. They also grow well in rainy climates and in areas unsuitable for othercrops.The fibres can be long, which produces high-quality fabric. The taller the nettles, the stronger the fibre.The fibres are hollow and provide natural insulation, so fabric made from nettle fibres keeps thewearer cool in the summer and warm in the winter.The fabric produced from nettles is finer than hemp fabric and comparable to or even softer thancotton. It also has natural fire resistance.

What makes Nettle unique?Nettle is cool in the summer and warm in winter, andit's waterproof, durable and can be worn throughoutthe year. And then there's the gauzy, lightweight feelof nettle shawls and scarves that makes you feel likeyou're in a fairy tale world, evoking at every glancethe beautiful mountains of the Himalaya, whereingenuity, folk science, and very hard work cometogether.With reference to the textile industry, fibres can beextracted from natural sources, or they can besynthesised. Natural fibres tend to have an ecologicaladvantage as they are renewable and biodegradable.Synthetic fibres often have a petrochemical origin,and can require significant energy to manufacture.
