The history of the nettle yarn
European innovatively produced ecological nettle is a very high quality fiber 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 that contain 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 elementary fibre. The fibre is just suitably porous 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 fibres have been removed mechanically, without water, using an innovative method. The cotton used as a fabric binder is produced in Turkey ethically and ecologically.
Nettle cotton yarn is also an ecological choice because no herbicides or pesticides are used in the cultivation of the plants. Nettle only needs natural rain to grow, which means that groundwater is also saved.
Nettle cotton yarn is a great choice for ecological crafts.
