-However, we have nettle, and the mission is complete! - Ritnaran cheerfully stated.
Now, we'll have something to do in the evening.
It is necessary to clean the stem from the leaves, and then make a cut in the indentation of the stem along its entire length. Since we only need the soft, fibrous part to make the rope, the "skin" must be removed from the nettle, i.e., the wood must be removed from the stem.
The prepared nettle must be dried, so it must be hung in a warm, dry place, and обязательно in the shade (so that direct sunlight does not reach it). It should dry as naturally as possible.
