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 is a natural fiber known for its strength and durability, but it does not have significant stretch. Unlike materials like spandex or elastic fibers, ramie maintains its shape and resists wrinkling. While it can be blended with other fibers to enhance elasticity, on its own, ramie has little to no stretch.

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".
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.
