Ramie is an ancient fibre known to have been used for over 6000 years! It is also known as grass linen and grasscloth. It is taken from the stem of a plant, belonging to the nettle family but without the sting and it is often used as an alternative to linen.

Properties:

Ramie is cool and breathable, resistant to shrinkage, insect damage and mildew, it is a super-strong fibre and holds its shape well and is even stronger when wet! These wonderful plants have been used in textile production for thousands of years, ancient Egyptians are thought to have made a similar fabric to wrap their sacred dead in.

Sunflowers and Citrine really does have all the characteristics of quality washed linen from the pleasing slubby yarn (which creates a sketchy cross-hatched look) to the comfortable hand, which immediately feels soft, breathable and absorbent to touch. 

Soft, absorbent, breathable, comfortable and lightly textured with a subtle lustre (the mark of good quality) this fabric is a true classic. Choose key pieces you can layer with other breathable fabric garments.

Garment Suggestions:

Wide-legged trousers, The Pattern Stash - Cordelia Trousers, A-line dresses and skirts, pinafore dresses, popover pinafores and shark bite tunics are all pieces with drape and will create comfortable airy pieces perfect for teaming with simple white linen tops made in our Classic White - Crisp Linen & Cotton.

Sunflowers and Citrine will also make more structured pieces; classic blazers and waistcoats like The Pattern Stash - Jemima Waistcoat.

The Layer Up Collection by Sew Different is also ideal for creating a capsule wardrobe of fresh spring-summer Ramie, Linen and (Linen blend) makes you will want to take through into autumn. 

Sustainability:

Ramie doesn't require pesticides or herbicides to grow and it can be harvested up to 6 times in a good year. It is very strong with some research suggesting that it is 8 times stronger than cotton.

It’s one of the oldest fibre crops, having been used for at least 6,000 years. The fibre is Vegan-friendly (unlike silk or wool), and unlike cotton doesn’t require pesticides or herbicides (like cotton does).

Such a beautiful colour.

I fell in love with this fabric when I saw it online, and that feeling just deepened when I saw the sample. Unfortunately, the creasing was a problem for me so I haven't ordered a dress length

Golden delight

Beautiful fabric, washed like a dream, very little wrinkling. Looking forward to making a statement shirt.

Lovely crisp feel

The Ramie has a lovely crisp feel and heavy drape with less slubs than linen often has. It will look great as a summer jacket for my mum.
