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