ramie
ramie
Noun
Ramie is a bast fiber known for its exceptional strength and luster, often compared to linen. It is highly valued in textile production for its resistance to bacteria and mildew, making it ideal for high-durability fabrics and industrial applications.
In a commercial context, ramie is frequently blended with other fibers like cotton or polyester to reduce its natural stiffness and improve the drape of the resulting garment. It is primarily associated with East Asian textile traditions.
