Untreated and naturally processed using only water and wood ash, it retains the integrity and character of the original fibre.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1132\" data-end=\"1326\"\u003eThe yarn carries the quiet irregularity and variation inherent to hand-spun plant fibres. Its natural colours range from soft grey and beige to warm, earthy tones, reflecting the fibre’s origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1514\"\u003eHistorically known as “poor man’s linen,” nettle fibre shares many of linen’s qualities — strength, breathability, and durability — whilst offering its own distinct texture and presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp
