Ramie (Boehmeria nivea) is a natural fiber that comes from the stem of the ramie plant, a member of the nettle family. It is one of the oldest fiber crops, and has been used for thousands of years in Asia for making textiles. Ramie fibers are known for their strength, durability, and ability to hold shape. The fibers are naturally lustrous, similar to silk, and have good absorbency, making them comfortable to wear in hot and humid climates.
