Ramie Linen fibre is totally biodegradable and recyclable.
Ramie is a linen-like fabric made from a nettle plant called China grass.
Ramie requires little water/pesticides to grow but does require some chemicals to “de-gum” the fibres.
Ramie has many of the same properties as linen, such as high breathability, moisture absorbency, resistance to heat and washing, quick drying, and mildew resistance.
Like linen, it does soften with repeated washings and does easily wrinkle.

please be aware colours shown can vary between different screen and monitors
we recommend washing your fabric on it’s own the first time as there can sometimes be some dye residue left over from the dying/printing process
natural fabrics can have some shrinkage, this is expected with natural fibres and washing before cutting your pattern is recommended.
woven fabrics may unravel in the wash if the seams are not prepped before washing, we recommend sewing your cut ends prior to washing.
