Fabric texture

Among hemp fibers, ramie is known for its exceptional strength, making it one of the strongest natural fibers. It has a refreshing, crisp texture that stands out among natural fibers, and it excels in moisture absorption and release, keeping the fabric breathable and preventing it from sticking to the skin even when you sweat. Ramie is also durable, withstanding strong washing and maintaining cleanliness as dirt is easily removed. However, it is prone to pilling with friction.
