Ramie Fiber Ramie is also known as china grass, rhea and grasscloth. It is pronounced either RAY-me or rah-me, and is a cellulose bast fiber from a shrub belonging to the nettle family. It is naturally white with a high luster and ranges from silky to coarse linen-like fibers. Until the more recent interest in it for clothing, ramie was most often used for ropes and sails and other items that needed strength when wet. It is mildew and stain resistant, and can take high water and ironing temperatures. It is reported to be twice as strong as linen (flax).
