The difference from linen: Ramie is harvested from a plant called "choma" (ramie), which is a type of hemp. You can knit bags and other items with knitting needles or crochet hooks. I knitted some to wrap around the handle of an iron kettle, to prevent it from getting hot. I had been using brown hemp twine, but black is more stylish (photo). - Length: 33m - Color: Black - Thickness: 2mm - Hemp twine Thank you for viewing.
