Ramie

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