Nettle

Nettle fiber is considered an alternative to traditional fibers. It is an eco-friendly fiber with antibacterial, antistatic, and thermoregulatory properties. Produced from the stem of the nettle plant, it becomes similar to linen; however, this fiber does not irritate, inflame, or cause itching on the skin, making it suitable for any textile production.

• Nettle cultivation is resistant to diseases and pests, requiring minimal or no chemical products, and can withstand more than 40 species of insects.
