Is all nettle good for cordage???

(1/3) > >>

Jakesnyder:
Anyone ever use common nettle (Galeopsis tetrahit) for making cordage???

Jakesnyder:
I'll let everyone know how it works. Once they are tall enough I'll give it a go.

Stoker:
Sounds good, never used it, can't see it not working.
Thanks Leroy

GlisGlis:
Interested in your experiments. I've tried urtica dioica only

Jakesnyder:
I found a new type of nettle, called wood nettle. In my research it is a very strong cordage. So I'll be making some cordage out of that and even some bow strings.
