New bulky yarn ENYA offers an all-natural chainette blend of cotton and ramie in bright, Summery colors; ramie is a plant-based fiber with similar characteristics to linen. This might be the first you’re hearing of it, but it has been around for quite some time--it was used in Egypt’s mummification process, making it one of the oldest textile fibers in the world! Ramie is naturally anti-bacterial, has wonderful stain resistant qualities, and keeps its shape well after washing. It adds strength to its cotton counterpart in ENYA, and best of all it has a lustrous quality similar to silk, giving fabric a soft shine. ENYA’s stitch definition is crisp and wonderful, as can be seen in the Vera Poncho Top.
