Abstract	The textile and composite industries are constantly evolving to develop materials that balance performance, durability, and environmental sustainability. Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a promising natural fiber due to its high tensile strength and eco-friendliness, while Nylon 6,6 is a durable synthetic fiber known for its resilience and mechanical properties. This study investigates the blending of stinging nettle fibers with Nylon 6,6 to enhance fabric performance while promoting sustainability. This study explores the potential of blending stinging nettle fibers with Nylon 6,6 to develop a hybrid textile material that integrates the strengths of both fiber types. The research focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties (tensile strength, elongation, and abrasion resistance), comfort (moisture management, thermal regulation), durability, and environmental impact of the composite fabric.
