European innovatively produced ecological nettle is a very high quality fibre with a matte sheen. During the golden age of nettle in the 18th century, the royals used the finest nettle fibers in their clothing, which make up 30% of this yarn. Thanks to the new innovation, it is possible to make products containing nettle yourself and enjoy the excellent properties of nettle. The nettle yarn is comfortable to weave, the hand feel is warm and the finished product is breathable thanks to the structure of the nettle core fiber. The fibre is just suitably breathable to keep the skin at a suitable temperature.

Knokkon’s goal is to keep the carbon footprint of its products as small as possible. The materials are ecological and are sourced as close as possible. The nettle fiber (urtica dioica) used in the scarf is ecologically and ethically cultivated in Germany. The fibers have been removed mechanically, without water, by an innovative method. The cotton used as a binder for nettle fiber is produced ethically and ecologically. The netting yarns are spun in Germany and the scarves are knitted in Finland.

The nettle-cotton scarf is an ecological choice also because no plant protection products or pesticides are used in the cultivation of the materials. Nettle only needs natural rain to grow, which also saves groundwater.

Thank you for choosing an ethically produced organic product!
