nettle clothes

[hardr004]

do you know how to turn nettles into clothes?

 

[Matt.S]

Harvest nettles, process to extract the fibres, spin fibres into yarn, weave yarn into cloth, tailor cloth into clothes. Got any plans for the next 2 years?

Not that bad. it is about like linnen (i.e. you have to ret the fibres, etc). I've done it for cordage, cloth should just be "more of the same". The fabric I've handled have been fairly close to linnen (I'm sure Toddy has some info to add here being the Official Fibre Geek here).
