Description
Ramie, shiny and vegetable
The properties of ramie are similar to those of linen. Ramie has more shine than linen. Ramie is very suitable as summer wear. Ramie is wear-resistant and has a good moisture-absorbing effect.
Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is also called Chinese grass. It is a plant from the nettle family that is mainly found in eastern Asia. Fibers have been extracted from the stem of the plant for more than 6000 years and are used for the production of wire and rope, fishing nets, paper and coarse textiles such as tablecloths, bed linen and curtains (grass linen). Mantles were also woven from ramie.
