Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a ramie fabric and the fabric. The process comprising the following steps: blend spinning a high-count ramie fiber such as a ramie fiber of 2500Nm or higher with a water-soluble fiber as carrier to form a yarn; sizing the yarn at a low temperature; weaving the yarn to form a gray fabric; then removing the water-soluble fiber from the gray fabric by deweighting the gray fabric during a printing and dyeing finishing process to obtain a super-high-count ramie fabric with a ramie yarn fineness of 160Nm or higher.
