Ramie is a renewable plant fibre that's derived from a plant in the nettle family. It is biodegradable, making it sustainable compared to synthetic, oil-based fabrics! The fibres are slubby which gives Ramie an appearance similar to linen. Ramie is reportedly "twice as strong" as Linen, one of the strongest natural fibres and even stronger when wet!
