Harvested in Nepal from Himalayan giant nettle stalks that exceed three meters in height, this unique fiber is meticulously hand-collected and peeled prior to processing. Valued by spinners, this rare and lustrous bast fiber—akin to hemp or linen—is sustainably wild harvested in the Himalayan mountains, continuing a tradition spanning centuries.

Exceptionally strong, it can be spun solo or blended, with wool blends adding loft and color. As a fair trade, regenerative crop, nettle fiber supports local farmers’ livelihoods while conserving land and communities.

Naturally silky and eco-friendly, it also offers antistatic, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and antibacterial qualities, and takes fiber reactive dyes well.
