Natural Fiber Overview
NATURAL FIBER HIGHLIGHTS
*Draft project report only for reference.
► There is a diverse range of natural fibres produced by farmers throughout the world
► Natural fibres may be classified as cellulosic (from plants), protein (from animals), and mineral
► Plant fibres may be seed hairs, such as cotton; bast (stem) fibres, such as linen; leaf fibres, such as sisal; and husk fibres, such as coconut
► The animal fibres are wool, hair, fur, and secretions, such as silk
► Natural fibers are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than synthetics in their production and disposal
► Close to 30 million tones of natural fibres are produced annually in the world, of which cotton is dominant with 20 million tones, wool and jute each around 2 to 3 million tones followed by a number of others
► Most countries produce some natural fibres; for some developing countries natural fibres are of major economic importance, for example, cotton in some West African countries, jute in Bangladesh and sisal in Tanzania
► In other cases these fibres are of less significance at the national level but are of major local importance within the country, as in the case of jute in West Bengal (India) and sisal in north-east Brazil
► Proceeds from the sale and export of natural fibres often contribute significantly to the income and food security of poor farmers and processors in the least developed countries
► The uses of natural fibers range from high priced apparel to industrial applications and in most if not all of these applications they are subject to competition from synthetic substitutes

*Draft project report only for reference.
Cotton ► The world produces around 25 million tones of cotton annually
► China, the United States, Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, Turkey and
Brazil are the major producers, with more than 80 countries
recording some production
► Global trade in raw cotton amounts to more than 7 million tones
annually, much of which is imported by processing and
manufacturing countries, which subsequently re-export it in the
form of textiles and clothing
► Cotton is used largely for apparel, with some also used in
upholstery, curtains, etc., and some in industrial applications
*Uttarakhand Bamboo & fibre Development Board, Dehradun
Wool► Annual wool production has been around 2.2 million tones, with
production recorded in almost 100 countries
► Australia produces around 25% of this total, other countries
include China, New Zealand, Iran, Argentina, the UK and India
► Exports of greasy plus scoured wool amount to around 800,000
tones annually and, like cotton, much of this is imported to
processing countries for manufacture and subsequent re-export
(FAOSTAT). Wool is used largely for apparel, with coarser types
used for bedding, for upholstery and for carpets
Jute► India produces 60% of the world’s jute, with Bangladesh being the
other major producer
► Other countries, including Myanmar and Nepal, produce much
smaller quantities
► Kenaf, a fiber very similar to jute, is produced in smaller quantities
of around 500,000 tones in a number of countries predominantly
in Asia. Traditionally jute and kenaf have been used to
manufacture packaging materials like hessian, sacking, ropes,
twines, carpet backing cloth etc.
► In recent years new technologies have been evolved for the use of
jute, as a raw material in the production of high value added and
price competitive intermediaries or final products.

Sisal, Henequen and
similar hard fibres
► In recent years, production of sisal, henequen and similar hard
fibres has been around 300 000 tones
► These fibres are produced from the leaf of the agave and similar
species mainly in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar) & Latin
America (Brazil, Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba) and in China
► Traditionally these fibers have been used for cordage, particularly
for baler twine, and for sacking, but more recently, in the face of
competition from synthetic materials in these applications, they
have been finding markets in a range of uses including carpets,
composite materials, and paper pulp
*Uttarakhand Bamboo & fibre Development Board, Dehradun
Silk► Silk production has amounted to around 135,000 tones annually
in recent years
► As with many other natural fibres, China is the dominant producer
► Other producers include countries, such as India, Vietnam,
Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Brazil
► Silk is produced from cocoons of the silk-producing moth,
commonly called the "silkworm."
► The cocoon, formed from an unbroken fibre secreted from the
caterpillar's body, is gathered and the fibre unwound
Hemp ► Hemp is a bast fibre similar to flax, kenaf, jute and ramie, used for
textiles, cordage and fine paper products
► The wood-like core fibre can be used for animal bedding, garden
mulch, fuel and an assortment of building materials
► Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa L.
Although both plants are from the species cannabis, hemp
contains virtually no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active
ingredient in marijuana
► Due to the similar leaf shape, hemp is frequently confused with
marijuana, and for this reason hemp production is restricted or
prohibited in many countries.
► China, Spain, Korea, Russia and Chile being other major producers

Nettle ► Urtica dioica, often called common nettle, stinging nettle or nettle
leaf, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family
Urticaceae
► It is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America,
and introduced elsewhere
► The plant has a long history of use as a source for traditional
medicine, food, tea, and textile raw material in ancient societies

Natural Fiber – Himalayan Nettle (1/4)
HIMALAYAN NETTLE
Overview► Family: Urticaceae
► Species: Hytrophylla/ Diversifolia
► Parts Used: Stem, roots and leaves
► Habitat: Waste ground and shrubberie 800- 2700 metre in the
Himalayas
► Himalayan Nettle is a grass species, the plant is found in the upper
reaches of Himalayas, the plant can attain a height of 12 to 18
feet
► The Plant has been generally found in broad leaf forests, having a
high leaf litter fall
► Different pockets of Uttarakhand have traditionally used the plant
fibre for making domestic products like ropes and other rope
based products such as slippers
► Despite its armoured exterior, the fibres inside are surprisingly
ideal for textile production
► The fibres are pliable and have a good length to be spun into yarn
► The final woven fabric is similar to linen- but much stronger (it’s
strength increases when wet) and a bit stiffer, making it ideal for
more structured garments. It has great resistance to wrinkling and
reputedly antimicrobial, antibacterial and fire retardant
► Himalayan Nettle has a unique property that makes it an ideal
clothing material for both winters and summers, the fibres of the
plant are actually hollow as such they can accumulate air inside
thus creating a natural insulation
Physical
Characteristics
► Himalayan Nettle is annual plant
► Flowers are hermaphrodite
► Plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils.
The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can
grow in semi- shade (light woodland or no shade). It requires moist
soil

Natural Fiber – Himalayan Nettle (2/4)
HIMALAYAN NETTLE
Uses► Edible uses:
► Leaves are used for cooking purposes. Care should be taken
when harvesting the leaves because they have stinging
hairs. These hairs are neutralized by heat and so the cooked
leaves are perfectly safe to eat
► Young Leaves
► Himalayan Nettle can be cooked as a potherb and added to
soups etc.
► Nettles are a very valuable addition to the diet, they are a
very nutritious food that is easily digested and is high in
minerals (especially iron) and vitamins (especially A and C)
► Cooking the leaves, or thoroughly drying them, neutralizes
the sting in the leaves, rendering the leaf safe to eat
► The young shoots are harvested in the spring when they are
15 - 20cm long
► Colouring; Curdling agent; Drink; Leaves
► The plants are harvested commercially for extraction of the
chlorophyll, which is used as a green colouring agent in
foods and medicines
► A tea is made from the dried leaves
► The juice of the leaves, or a decoction of the herb, can be
used as a rennet substitute in curdling plant milks
► Nettle beer is brewed from the young shoots
► Medicinal uses:
► A decoction of the roots and basal stems is mixed with wine
and drunk as a cure for malignant boils. The leaves are used
in the treatment of headaches and swollen joints. A
decoction of the plant is used to treat fevers

Natural Fiber – Himalayan Nettle (3/4)
HIMALAYAN NETTLE
Uses► Antiasthmatic; Antidandruff; Astringent; Diuretic; Galactogogue;
Haemostatic; Hypoglycaemic; Stings; Tonic
► Nettles have a long history of use in the home as an herbal
remedy and nutritious addition to the diet
► A tea made from the leaves has traditionally been used as a
cleansing tonic and blood purifier so the plant is often used
in the treatment of hay fever, arthritis, anaemia etc.
► The whole plant is antiasthmatic, antidandruff, astringent,
depurative, diuretic, galactogogue, haemostatic,
hypoglycaemic and a stimulating tonic.
► An infusion of the plant is very valuable in stemming
internal bleeding, it is also used to treat anemia, excessive
menstruation, haemorrhoids, arthritis, rheumatism and skin
complaints, especially eczema
► Externally, the plant is used to treat skin complaints,
arthritic pain, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, haemorrhoids, hair
problems etc.
► The fresh leaves of nettles have been rubbed or beaten onto
the skin in the treatment of rheumatism etc. This practice,
called urtification
► It is believed that this treatment works in two ways
► Firstly, it acts as a counter-irritant, bringing more blood to
the area to help remove the toxins that causes rheumatism
► Secondly, the formic acid from the nettles is believed to
have a beneficial effect upon the rheumatic joints
► Other uses:
► Fibre is obtained from the stem
► It is fine and silky and is used for making coarse cloth ropes,
twine
► Yield of fibre are around 600- 1098 kg per hectare

Natural Fiber – Himalayan Nettle (4/4)
HIMALAYAN NETTLE
Uses► Biomass; Compost; Dye; fibre; Hair; Liquid feed; Oil; Repellent;
Waterproofing
► A strong flax-like fibre obtained from the stems is used for
making string and cloth, it also makes a good quality paper
► It is harvested as the plant begins to die down in early
autumn and is retted before the fibres are extracted
► The fibre is produced in less abundance than from flax
(Linum usitatissimum) and is also more difficult to extract
► The plant matter left over after the fibres have been
extracted are a good source of biomass and have been used
in the manufacture of sugar, starch, protein and ethyl
alcohol
► Oil obtained from the seeds is used as an illuminant
► Herbal compost activator is a dried and powdered mixture
of several herbs that can be added to a compost heap in
order to speed up bacterial activity and thus shorten the
time needed to make the compost
► The leaves are also an excellent addition to the compost
heap and they can be soaked for 7 - 21 days in water to
make a very nutritious liquid feed for plants
► This liquid feed is both insect repellent and a good foliar
feed
► The growing plant increases the essential oil content of
other nearby plants, thus making them more resistant to
insect pests
► A beautiful and permanent green dye is obtained from a
decoction of the leaves and stems
► A yellow dye is obtained from the root when boiled with
alum

Benefits of Nettle Fibre
*Draft project report only for reference.
Porous and
Breathability
► Himalayan fibres are porous, allowing the skin to breathe
► Fibres soften with age while being mildew resistant
► Moisture absorption property and breathability make Nettle an
extremely comfortable fabric
*Uttarakhand Bamboo & fibre Development Board, Dehradun
Durability► These fibres are longer, stronger and more durable than any other
natural fibre known to mankind
► Longer fibre length increases spinning options and hence fabric
possibilities
Temperature
Resistant
Antibacterial
Properties
► Most Himalayan fibres are potential medicinal plants, considered
to possess anti- bacterial activity against a wide range of pathogen
► This anti-bacterial characteristic is contributed from bio-active
compounds of lignin present in the fibre
► This makes it best alternative in healthcare and hospitality
industry
► Single fibre cells have hollow cavities called lumen
► These are interconnected, creating a complex capillary passage for
air, making the fibre temperature resistant
► This helps keep the fabric warm in winters and cool in summers
► In order to create clothing material for summers the yarn length
can be twisted closing the hollow core and reducing insulation
► In winter with low twist the hollow fiber remains open maintaining
a constant temperature
Eco – Friendly ► Himalayan plants grow in the temperate forests lands of the
Himalayas, with zero use of pesticides and insecticides for
cultivation
► The collection of raw material – the removal of dead stalks – have a
net positive impact on the mountain environment
