Ramie Fabric: Natural materials can make denim fabric?

Denim fabric is usually woven from two types of fibers, indigo-dyed cotton and rough cotton fabric fibers. However, there is a natural fiber that can be woven into pure vegan denim material, not only more durable but also cooler than the original denim. That is Ramie fabric.

What is Ramie?

Ramie is a type of natural fabric from Ramie plant, also known as Boehmeria nivea, a plant that has been around for many years before the Common Era. Its single fibers are long, strong, good at absorbing moisture, breathable, good at conducting heat, highly durable, and have good antibacterial properties. After removing the gum, Ramie fibers are naturally white and can be woven into 100% ramie material or blended with other fibers such as cotton, silk, wool, synthetic fibers… which are currently very popular with consumers in Japan and Europe.

How does Ramie weave denim fabric?

Short Ramie fibers – also known as nettle cotton – are blended with other fibers such as Spandex and Rayon to increase elasticity and shine for Ramie denim, combining the inherent properties of the world’s oldest natural material with popular fibers today.

What are the characteristics of denim fabric woven from Ramie?
