1 China Grass Cloth
A plain weave fabric made from yarns spun from ramie (China grass) in many widths and qualities. The lustre on the fabric gives an impression of linen. It is used for small tablecloths, etc. (see Grass Cloth) -
2 Grass Cloth (Canton Linen)
A plain weave fabric made in China from ramie yarns. It is woven on hand looms in coarse reeds and with few picks. The natural lustre of the yams is not interfered with, as the fabric is used in the loom state. A small quantity is dyed blue, or bleached and used for dresses, but the bulk of the cloth is used for table covers in the loom state. Widths are 15-in. or 16-in. and lengths 30 yards, made on native looms. A fabric made of yarn spun from nettle fibre was also known as grass cloth.Dictionary of the English textile terms > Grass Cloth (Canton Linen)

11 Nettle Fibre
Short, fine stem fibre obtained from the nettle. In 1766 a Leipzig manufacturer was the first to extract the fibres and German firms made fabrics of them. The fibre is obtained from two species of the stinging nettle, Urtica Dioica and U. Urena. In Germany the fibre is spun into a green coloured yarn (Nessel Garn), and this is woven into Nesseltuch, a cloth which much resembles linen and may be bleached pure white. The introduction of China grass has greatly reduced the interest in nettle fibre. -
12 Pineapple Fibre
A soft, very fine, lustrous and durable leaf fibre obtained from the pineapple in the Philippines. It is one of the finest fibres and used for the sbeerest muslins and the Pina cloth made in the Islands. The fibre has great durability and is unaffected by water. Also known as silk grass. It is also found in China, South America, Mexico and parts of Africa. The cost of production is very high which restricts its use.
