The nettle fibres are spun from the fibre found inside the stem of the plant. Nettle has been used for 2000 years for its strength and durability. It is grown abudantly in rainy areas wordwide without the need for harmful pollutants or pesticides, making it eco-friendly and sustainable.
Blended with luxurious wool, the nettle enhances the character of the yarn, adding insulation and texture, creating a sumptuously soft 'aran' weight yarn in a palette of irresistable colours inspired by the wild.
