Nettle fiber scarf

The journey of this wonderful scarf began in the wild forests of the Himalayas.

These unique products are made from nettle plants that are up to 3 meters tall.

The nettles are peeled to extract the kernel, braised overnight with ashes, the fibres pulled apart and beaten on rocks, rubbed with clay (to remove any leftover bark), spun and finally woven, knitted or crocheted.

This is how wonderful fabrics, dresses, scarves and jackets are created, which we have decided to include in our range.

Nettles double their growth fourfold after harvest, require neither fertilizers nor pesticides and have been used as a source of fiber for centuries.

• large scarf 200 cm x 40 cm
• naturally hand-dyed - light to yellowish olive green

• Please note that the pattern may vary. Slight color differences within the material are natural and not a defect!
• Won and crocheted in the Himalayas - processed in Germany

Even though we have put a lot of effort into editing the photos, the color representations may still vary depending on the screen settings 😊
In addition, it is a hand-crafted natural product, which means that slight color differences within the weave are noticeable!
We ask you to take this into consideration.
