Nettle fiber

Nettle fibres have been labelled the material of the future, being ecologically friendly, sustainable and a much needed alternative to plastic fibres.

Today, the use of nettle fibres is on the increase again with the need for sustainable natural fibres becoming ever more poignant. Nettles are biodegradable making them desirable over plastic-based fibres such as nylon, acrylic and polyester. They are also less resource-intensive to process than cotton.

Hemp fibres have properties such as:

• Thermal regulation;
• Antibacterial;
• Antistatic;
• Breathable.

That make it an interesting choice for functional garments.
