Ramie

Ramie is a natural fiber derived from the stalks of the ramie plant, a flowering shrub native to Asia. Known for its strength and durability, ramie is often blended with other fibers like cotton or wool to produce textiles that are crisp, resistant to wrinkling, and absorbent. It has been used for thousands of years in clothing and fabrics, particularly in lightweight, breathable garments. Ramie fibers are biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making them a sustainable choice in textile production. Its natural luster and ability to hold dyes well contribute to its popularity in various fabric applications.
