Ramie is also called ramie, and it is difficult to make fabric with this count even when spun and woven by hand, but it is possible to do so by twisting the ramie with water-soluble threads after spinning, and then dissolving the water-soluble threads after weaving. For more details on the differences between ramie, flax, and hemp, please refer to Boken's article . It is large, measuring 80cm in width, but weighs only 50g, making it extremely lightweight.
