If you want an easier way to wear nettles, ramie is a very sustainable fabric made from nettles, similar to linen. I’ve made a few garments from it and love it (it’s sting-free, I promise!). This particular ramie is really hard-wearing, perfect for trousers: https://www.textileexpressfabrics.co.uk/catalogsearch/result/?q=Ramie
