1. Fabric Overview
A rare, deeply considered nettle–wool three-ply fabric that sits at the intersection of performance, heritage, and slow craft.
At 430 GSM, this is a truly heavyweight textile—dense, insulating, and structurally impressive—yet refined rather than bulky.
The 70% nettle content brings breathability, tensile strength, and a cool, dry hand, while the 30% wool contributes warmth, resilience, and natural recovery.
The three-ply construction gives the cloth exceptional depth, stability, and dimensional presence, making it feel architectural, protective, and quietly luxurious.
This fabric feels artisanal, long-lasting, and rich in provenance—a textile intended for serious making.
2. How It’s Made
This fabric is constructed as a true three-ply, or triple-cloth, textile. Three interlaced layers are woven simultaneously and bound together at intervals to create a unified, structurally complex cloth.
The yarn blend combines nettle bast fibre with fine wool in a balanced proportion, allowing the strengths of both fibres to complement one another.
The finish is clean and functional rather than overly softened. This allows the fabric to retain its integrity, breathability, and natural-fibre character while remaining garment-ready.

4. Handfeel and Drape
The fabric feels cool and slightly dry from the nettle, balanced by the warmth and resilience of wool.
The hand is substantial, firm, and reassuring—neither limp nor spongy.
Its drape is structured and architectural, holding its shape confidently while still allowing controlled movement. This is a fabric that stands up rather than collapses.

6. Wash, Care, and Disclaimers

* Avoid heavy agitation and high temperatures to protect the wool fibres
* Do not bleach, soak, scrub, or wring
* Reshape while damp and dry flat in the shade
* Steam lightly rather than pressing heavily
* Expect the fabric to soften naturally with continued wear
* Always test a small swatch before cutting the complete yardage

Awesome fabric. Didn't know hemp is so soft. Thought it might be coarse like a sack of potatoes. But it's silky. Love it.
