Hemp textiles are sustainable fabrics 100% plant derived (from cannabis sativa fibre). Hemp creates one of the most eco-friendly, durable and versatile fabrics in the world.
What are hemp fabrics?
The plant that produces this eco-friendly fabric is a particular variety of the cannabis plant. Due to the similar leaf shape, hemp is frequently confused with marijuana. All products manufactured from hemp are environmentally friendly, sustainable and free of psychoactive substances.
Hemp requires no pesticides, crowds out weeds without herbicides, controls erosion of the topsoil, and produces oxygen.
Hemp can be blended with other materials like organic cotton, recycled cotton, linen, etc. or with man-made fibres such as LYCRA®.
What are the benefits of hemp fabrics?
Hemp has the look of classic linen and can have the soft feel (depending upon fabric blend) of your favourite textile. Hemp materials will also soften with age and with each wash.
