Ramie tops are a premium plant fiber<\/strong>, obtained from the stem of the ramie plant (Boehmeria nivea<\/em>), and processed through extraction and combing processes that preserve its extraordinary length and natural luster<\/strong>. Also known as “vegetable silk<\/strong>“, it stands out for its glossy appearance, cool hand and great strength. Processing into tops produces an orderly and uniform fiber, ideal for spinning, weaving and fiber art techniques that enhance the structure and luminosity of natural fibers. <\/p>\n

Availability and packaging
\n<\/strong>Our ramie tops are available in 100 g, 500 g, 1 kg packages<\/strong> per color. Each package has a natural tolerance of \u00b13%<\/strong> and contains fiber in continuous sliver.<\/strong> The different packages are designed both for those who need small quantities and for those who need large quantities and\/or want to save. For non-EU<\/strong> shipments, packages are vacuum-sealed<\/strong>, reducing volume and lowering shipping costs. Don’t worry: once opened, the fiber returns to its original volume<\/strong>, without any loss of quality. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
