1 Nettle Fibre
Short, fine stem fibre obtained from the nettle. In 1766 a Leipzig manufacturer was the first to extract the fibres and German firms made fabrics of them. The fibre is obtained from two species of the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica and U. Urena. In Germany the fibre is spun into a green coloured yarn (Nessel Garn), and this is woven into Nesseltuch, a cloth which much resembles linen and may be bleached pure white. The introduction of China grass has greatly reduced the interest in nettle fibre. -
2 Ortica Fibre
The fibres of the nettle plant, see nettle fibre, and probably a corruption of the Latin name of the nettle, viz., Urtica. -
3 China Grass Or Nettle
A plant that grows in East India, Siam, Cochin China, Japan, China and elsewhere. The stem bears broad oval leaves, the upper side being smooth and green, while the under side is covered with a white woolly down. The fibre is 4-in. to 5-in. long and very strong. In its wild state it is known as Rhea and is found in almost impenetrable masses. The plant is the Baehmeria or stingless nettle and the leaves are white felted underneath; hence the name " White Ramie " sometimes given to the fibre (see Ramie). Yarns spun from this fibre are very strong, whitish in colour and lustrous (see Textile Fibres)Dictionary of the English textile terms > China Grass Or Nettle

4 Rhea Fibre
RAMIE, or RHEA FIBREA very strong and durable fibre. It is grown in China, Japan, Java, India, etc. Ramie fibre is very white, has a high lustre, and can be separated into filaments as fine as silk. The ramie plant belongs to the family of Urtica (nettle) and to the sub-division Boehmeria. It contains about 25 per cent of gum and when degummed is much stronger than hemp or cotton. It can be spun with less twist than other fibres of similar length of staple. It resists damp, and when mixed with wool imparts non-shrinking properties to the resulting yarn. The fibre lengths vary from 4-in. to 72-in. It is much used for gas mantles. Ramie counts are usually in the worsted system (see China Grass). The two best fibre-yielding species are" Boehmeria tenacissima, often called the green-leaved ramie, as its leaves are entirely green; and Boehmeria nivea, often called the white-leaved ramie, as the undersides of its leaves are silvery white. The nivea species is very largely grown in China, and to a lesser degree in India and Formosa, and the tenacissima in Java, Sumatra, Borneo, Malacca, Mexico, and other tropical countries. -
5 Bichu Fibre
The name in India for the fibre from the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica. The plant yields a large amount of fibre of large diameter. The plant is a common one in the U.S.A. and grows on waste land. In Sweden it is cultivated to some extent for its fibre, and used for cordage, low cloth, etc., and is known as Swedish hemp. -
6 Devil's Nettle
Fine, white and strong fibre, obtained from a species of nettle in Assam. Used for cordage and coarse fabrics. -
7 Grass Cloth Fibre
The fibres yielded by the common stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica. This name is applied to the fibre as well as the fabric. -
8 Olona Fibre
Very strong and durable bast fibre obtained from a species of the nettle (Touchardia Latifolia) in Hawaii. Used for fishing nets, cords, lines and Malo cloth. -
9 Ortigao Fibre
Strong bast fibre, yielded by a species of the nettle in Brazil, used for clothing, nets, etc., by the natives. -
10 Piripiri Fibre
The fine stem fibre of the Pipturus Argentus in Tahiti used for nets, bags, and cords. The plant is a species of nettle like ramie. It is only used locally. -
11 Urera Fibre
Fibres from the Urera Tenax, a native of Natal, are made into thread and cordage. The plant is a form of nettle and similar to China grass. -
12 Nessel Garn

13 Nesseltuch

15 Bangra
A fabric woven on hand looms in India from stinging nettle fibre, it is similar to hemp, and is hard and stiff. -
16 Grass Cloth (Canton Linen)
A plain weave fabric made in China from ramie yarns. It is woven on hand looms in coarse reeds and with few picks. The natural lustre of the yams is not interfered with, as the fabric is used in the loom state. A small quantity is dyed blue, or bleached and used for dresses, but the bulk of the cloth is used for table covers in the loom state. Widths are 15-in. or 16-in. and lengths 30 yards, made on native looms. A fabric made of yarn spun from nettle fibre was also known as grass cloth.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Grass Cloth (Canton Linen)

17 Ortica Cloth
The name given to the cloth manufactured in Germany and the more northern countries from the nettle fibre. It was very light and thin and in plain weave. The introduction of cotton killed the trade. -
