Nettle Project

About Nettle Project

Often dismissed as a weed, the stinging nettle is a resilient, native plant with extraordinary ecological and economic potential. At the Nettle Project, we unlock that potential.

We develop circular solutions that turn nettles into high-value spinnable fibers for textiles. Our approach is rooted in zero-waste thinking: every part of the plant—and every step in our process—is optimized to create value.

Our mission goes beyond material innovation. We build business cases, foster collaborations, and grow a community around this powerful plant. By bridging agriculture and nature, we aim to: ✨ Show the untapped value of under-used native plants 🌿 Shift perceptions from weed to wonder 🎨 Enable regenerative local supply chains

Nettles grow where others won’t. So do our ideas. Let’s change the way we see nature—and build the future of textiles from the roots up together.
