RAMIE SILK is a noble, lightweight blend of virgin wool, silk and ramie that feels light and cool. It is very suitable for summer projects or as an alternative sock yarn. Ramie is a natural fibre from a Southeast Asian plant related to nettle. It was used as a fibre plant very early on and together with silk it gives the yarn a special shine.
