During the war time Europe the soldiers uniforms were made of them instead of cotton. The hot stings comes from the leaves. The fiber comes from the stem that is first fermented or otherwise handled to extract fibers. The process is wery similar to the linen. The fiber itself is much softer than linen. - Em Thu, 08 Oct 2009 23:52:29 +0100 http://www.ecofashionworld.com/EcoFashion-Pulse/FLOURISHING-FIBERS.html#comment-62 wow stinging nettles? having been exposed to them as a kid, and regularly being burned, i wonder how this can actually be used as a practical crop? it's not just the hands that would need protection in the case of such an exploitation, but the eyes, lungs and entire body. i'm really curious how this can be warranted as a sustainable opportunity. this plant in the wild is a weed, which many have found to be highly toxic. what do you use to remove its poison once spun into fiber? this seems very odd to me. i'm concerned about the air quality around the cultivation area and the spread of nettle pollen would create a vast infestation. none of this is explained on their website. this is equivalent to a company here in america saying they were now producing fabric from poison ivy!!! - RemyC Mon, 25 May 2009 05:10:11 +0100 http://www.ecofashionworld.com/EcoFashion-Pulse/FLOURISHING-FIBERS.html#comment-36 where is it possible to buy fabrics made out of nettle/ banana leaf etc? it would be ideal to know so i could use some of these fabrics in my fashion final major project as i'm looking into fair trade/organic materials etc. :) any suggestions? - charley Wed, 01 Apr 2009 02:17:21 +0100 http://www.ecofashionworld.com/EcoFashion-Pulse/FLOURISHING-FIBERS.html#comment-28 Where can I buy nettle fabric? - CAROL Sun, 22 Feb 2009 17:23:24 +0100 http://www.ecofashionworld.com/EcoFashion-Pulse/FLOURISHING-FIBERS.html#comment-27 I'm pretty impressed by the bannana leaf wrap. how strong are the fibres? I think the large platelet look is great. - mark Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:28:39 +0100
