Also known as Chinese Nettle, Ramie is one of the oldest textile fibers known, used by the Egyptians to make cloth to wrap their deceased. It looks a lot like silk, it is a very strong, soft handle and with a long staple. It is similar to Flax just with a little more luster and can be spun just like spinning flax. It resists mildew and it doesn't rot easily. It is very absorbent and breathes well.

All my fiber comes from a smoke-free, pet-free environment.

I used to store my fibers with lavender sachets, but I don't anymore as I have learned that moths hate disturbances and some people are allergic to lavender. Now I dust and clean more frequently and move things around but I still include a lavender sachet with each order, unless someone requests me not to. If you don't want the lavender because you are allergic or for some other reason, let me know in the comment section, or send me a message.

I do my best to get pictures from different angles to capture and show the beauty of the color combinations. Remember that your monitor may show colors differently than mine. I'm always open to questions.

The lighting for the photos makes the colors a little brighter than they do in person, so expect the colors one or two shades darker.
