🌿 Ramie Roving

A beautiful plant fibre from the ramie nettle (Boehmeria nivea), valued for its strength, silky sheen and excellent dye uptake.

Ramie is naturally white and slightly lustrous. It shares some characteristics with flax/linen but is generally stronger and slightly coarser in feel.

Ramie fibres are naturally very long and strong. After processing into roving the staple length is typically around 6–15 cm, making it suitable for spinning and fibre blending. It is also widely used in fibre art, doll hair and decorative textile work.

Ramie absorbs dye extremely well and can be coloured using natural dyes or commercial dyes such as fibre-reactive dyes.

The ramie fiber is soft, has a lovely sheen, and spins into a fine, strong thread that will be perfect for crocheted lace projects. This fiber will blend well with silk. I am completely satisfied with the quality of this product and I am happy to have found a source for ramie.
