URTICA 400 GSM Terry Travel Towel — Stinging Nettle & Organic Cotton Blend · Compact, Quick-Dry, Practical
Price range: £17.00 through £26.00
URTICA brings an uncommon natural fibre into a towel made for movement and simple routines. Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is still rarely used in household textiles, yet it offers natural strength and structure — ideal for a lighter towel that packs down well and dries relatively quickly between uses.
Blended with organic cotton terry for softness and absorbency, URTICA is a practical alternative to bulky cotton towels and synthetic “sports towels” — comfortable on skin, easy to carry, and uncomplicated to live with.
Composition & Weight
- Base yarn: 60% organic stinging nettle
- Terry loops: 40% organic cotton
- Weight: 400 GSM (light–medium)
Why URTICA Works So Well for Travel & Everyday Rotation
Packs smaller than classic cotton bath towels
At 400 GSM, URTICA is intentionally lighter than thick terry. It folds down easily for travel, gym bags, campervan life, and small bathrooms where bulky towels become a problem.
Dries relatively quickly between uses
A lighter build means less retained moisture than heavier towels, making it easier to use in routines where you need a towel to dry out overnight or between sessions.
Natural-fibre comfort (no synthetic feel)
Organic cotton terry loops deliver familiar softness and absorbency against the skin, while the stinging nettle base supports shape and structure underneath — without synthetic reinforcement.
Holds its structure through regular washing
Stinging nettle fibres are naturally robust. Their inclusion helps the towel keep its character and form through repeated washing and everyday use.
