Dear 1800-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question.
What you are searching for is called ?nettlecloth?, also known
variously around the world as ?knittle?, ?China-grass?, ?Rhea? or
?ramie? (pronounced ?Ray-me?). Nettlecloth, in it?s true ancient form,
is extremely difficult if not impossible to get in the United States
today but it is still made in Nepal and occasionally imported from
China as a fabric called ?ramie?, a cloth made from the fibers of an
Asian nettle (Boehmeria nivea), a reasonable substitute from which
many modern ?nettlecloth? fabrics are now actually made (after all, it
continues to be made of real nettle fiber). Other places where ramie
is made are Taiwan, Korea, the Philippines and Brazil.
