Nettle crowds the shaded, damp corners of the isles, its jagged leaves bristling with stings that punish the careless hand. The forager who braves them is rewarded well: hidden in the stalk runs a fiber — 

For all the menace of the plant that guards them, nettle fibers are astonishingly gentle in the hand — long, fine, and faintly lustrous, closer to silk than to the coarse bast they are stripped from. They are strong, too, belying their softness.
A tailor who works nettle is trusted with the finest natural cloth the realm grows, the material that marks the boundary between everyday weaving and the luxury of true silk. Few forage it well, and fewer still without regret for their fingers.


Nettle Fibers

Fine, silky strands drawn from beneath a nettle's sting.

 — as fine and silken as any plant of the realm can offer.
It is the most refined thread a forager can coax from the wild, the last and finest of the common fibers before the craft turns to silk. Nettle asks for patience and a careful grip, and gives back a cloth that borders on luxury.
