Composition - Ramie
Ramie is the quality for designs that are intended to look natural, clear, and have a high-quality texture. Many designers appreciate ramie because the fiber brings a linen-like freshness and makes fabrics appear light, full of character, and naturally modern. Ideal if you are looking for a special plant fiber with a noble natural character. (More...)
Ramie is a natural plant fiber and is valued for its strength, freshness, and smooth surface. Depending on the processing, ramie can feel firm, smooth, slightly shiny, or somewhat textured. The fiber is especially popular for summer fabrics, blends, blouses, dresses, and modern natural looks.
Typical types of fabrics:
• Ramie fabric
• Ramie cotton blend
• Ramie linen blend
• Ramie in light quality
• Ramie blended fabric
Important properties:
Ramie is light, strong, and natural in appearance. Many qualities appear fresh, airy, and finely structured. The fiber is particularly suitable for summery fabrics with a clear, natural look.
Care instructions:
Ramie should be washed gently depending on the processing. Like other plant fibers, it can wrinkle, which often contributes to a natural look. When ironing, steam helps if a smoother surface is desired.
