Nettle is a kind of edible herb, often found in groves and settlements.
Many NPCs in the game will be found wearing nettle clothing, however, you cannot make cloth from nettles yourself without modding the game. Rain's Cloth Mod V3 allows you to use nettle to make nettle clothing. Nettle has a fiber yield of 1 for textile uses, compared with 3 for flax and 2 for hemp. Unlike flax and hemp, nettle can be extracted directly after threshing, providing a quick method to obtaining cordage.
Nettle is one of the more nutritious herbs, and can be harvested and threshed for seeds which can be planted.

Real life context
- Common nettle (Urtica dioica) - English Wikipedia article
- Nokkonen (Urtica dioica) - Finnish Wikipedia article
Nettle is almost certainly Urtica dioica or stinging nettle, a well-known plant that grows throughout the northern hemisphere. It grows tall stems which are covered in small stinging spines, but these can be removed by cooking. In the past, it was commonly used as food or for making clothing, but now is usually considered a weed.
Another term for the plant in Finnish is isonokkonen.
