Neolithic Stemmed
Name this ancient fiber!?

Okay here's a nasty challenging question!

Name this ancient fiber. It comes from the stem of a plant thats common in Europe and Asia and is still used for weaving in some remote areas of Asia and by craft specialists in Europe. It is not linen or hemp but archaeologists believe some fiber fragments from the Neolithic once thought to be hemp are from this plant. The young leaves can be eaten in salads or cooked.

Can you name this plant?
Flax is linen and no silk in Europe!

Papyrus is not used for weaving!

Nettles. They used to made cloth out of it in Neolithic Europe, and you can eat the baby leaves in salad, or cooked like spinach.
