G&G Filati · RamenLUX 2200 · 220m/241yds per 100g/3.5oz · 60% Ramie (Ra) 40% Lurex

RamenLUX 2200 by G&G Filati is a yarn unlike almost anything else — a ramie base wrapped with a broad, flat lurex tape that covers the thread in a continuous sheet of metallic gold, creating a surface that is less yarn and more liquid light. The lurex here is not a shimmer or an accent — it is the dominant presence, bold and unapologetic, wrapping the ramie core in a mirror-bright metallic finish that catches and throws light with extraordinary intensity.

60% ramie provides the structural foundation — one of the strongest natural plant fibers, naturally stiff and crisp, with a clean matte surface that serves as the perfect counterpoint to the lurex's theatricality. The ramie gives the yarn body and drape, ensuring the metallic tape sits cleanly on the fabric surface rather than collapsing or bunching. The combination produces a thread that has both architectural structure and spectacular visual presence.

RamenLUX 2200 is a yarn for those who want fabric that makes a statement. Worked solo it produces pieces of genuine visual impact — garments and accessories that read as intentional, considered, and entirely distinctive. It is equally a remarkable companion thread, instantly transforming any yarn it is paired with.

Versatile Use

At 220m/100g, RamenLUX 2200 is a true worsted-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Best worked in simple, open stitch patterns that allow the metallic surface to show fully — complex stitches are lost beneath the lurex. Ideal for statement tops, evening cardigans, shawls, bags, and accessories where maximum metallic impact is the design intent.

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Ramie has no natural elasticity and the lurex tape may behave differently after washing. Always swatch on the needles you intend to use and check dimensions after drying.
