Nettle Yarn | Strong Eco | Natural & Colours | Knit Crochet Weave
Our beautiful Nettle yarn is soft and hand spun with the natural texture and occasional over spin creating a lovely thick and thin slub effect.
Fabric crafted from Nettle softens beautifully with wear, does not itch or scratch and is gentle against the skin with a lovely drape.
The fibres of the nettle are hollow which gives nettle fabric natural insulating properties - keeping you lovely and warm in winter and cool in summer.
A highly sustainable and eco friendly crop, Nettle is naturally resistant to pests and disease and is pesticide and fertiliser free. It is a much greener fibre than many other plant-based alternatives including cotton.

I purchased nettle yarns and hemp yarn recently. Previously ordered various colored raffia yarns. I am very happy with these unique yarns. I will be using them in experimental tapestry work where I limit myself to these yarns as well as paper yarns, etc.
The wool is absolutely great! Thank you so much
love the colour and softness. Haven't knitted with it yet
Haven't knitted yet so not sure how it will look
I'm knitting a CLOAK that is an artwork and not intended to have a wearing function. It will represent a feeling while encountering deep snow and having to find one's way through it. Having used the nettle yarn for a former project, I knew the natural nettle was the perfect fit. As I knit ten skeins for the front and back and two for each sleeve, each skein is shows a different shade of 'natural' and resembles snow so beautifully as it falls in layers in different shades of natural white. It has body and yet falls in a heap at my feet. I simply love the notion of nettle fibre prepared from plant material, spun and made useful for such tasks as mine. The first place I look for fibre inspiration is ORA FABULOUS FIBRES. Thank you for your searches Debbie, you are a finder!
