Ramie is a fiber herb. The fibers have the longest cells in the plant kingdom. It has been found that Egyptians used this plant. The fibers are stronger then cotton or flax, smooth and lustrous. They absorb and release moisture rapidly and make comfortable summer clothing. They don't shrink or swell when wet. The fibers launder easy and wrinkle less than linen. | |
