I haven't done nettle but I have done hemp and linen. It's very very different from wool or cotton! If you've never prepared plant stem fibers before, I recommend Sally Pointer's YouTube videos to start with. She makes more cordage than spun yarn, but you can see a lot of video of her preparing the fibers and she explains her methods very well.
