Ramie Textiles: Washing and soaking chambers

The fiber goes through a few processes before it is ready for weaving. It is soaked for 48 hours in soda ash and then goes through a degumming process with soda ash and soap for 5 hours at 100°C. It is then washed with water and hydrogen peroxide which gives it a whitish colour.
It is then washed with a softener and antistatic and sundried.
