Ramie is used to make textiles such as clothing, tablecloths, and napkins due to its strength, durability, and ability to hold shape. It is also used in papermaking, rope and twine production, and as a reinforcing material in composite materials and plastics. Additionally, ramie can be used for medical purposes, such as in surgical suture threads.
No, the ramie plant is not typically eaten by humans as it is primarily used in textile production for its strong fibers. However, some parts of the plant may be edible or used in traditional medicine in certain cultures. It is important to research and ensure that it is safe to consume before doing so.

The scientific name of ramie is Boehmeria nivea.
Ramie is a natural fiber that comes from the stems of the ramie plant (Boehmeria nivea). The plant is native to Asia and is grown for its strong and durable fibers. Ramie fibers are white, lustrous, and similar to linen in texture.
A strong, soft fiber yielded by the inner bark of the Ramie plant. The fiber is white, soft, lustrous and slightly coarser than flax when degummed and bleached. Ramie fabrics are strong, smooth and durable.

Ramie denim is made with the plant fibre ramie as well as man made fibres like polyester or spandex. The natural fibre gives it a softer feels and reduces wrinkling. The fabric is also stain resistant, absorbent and doesn't lose its shape.
I believe it is because ramie is a brittle fiber. Also it depends on whether it is wet spun or dry spun. Wet spun being "softer".
