Why hemp?

Hemp fabric is a type of textile that uses fibres from the stalks of the Cannabis sativa plant. For millennia, people have recognised this plant as a source of extraordinarily tensile and durable textile fibres. However, the psychoactive qualities of Cannabis sativa have recently made it harder for farmers to produce this immensely beneficial crop.

Over thousands of years, Cannabis sativa has been bred for two distinct purposes. On the one hand, many generations of cultivators of this plant have selectively bred it to be high in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and other psychoactive chemical constituents called cannabinoids. On the other hand, other cultivators have consistently bred Cannabis sativa to produce stronger and better fibres. They even purposefully reduced the levels of psychoactive cannabinoids produced by their crops.

Using hemp fabric

In modern history, this type of fabric used to mainly target individuals who were enthusiastic about cannabis. While hemp fabric is still highly popular in the cannabis subculture, there are now plenty of people around the world who like this fabric for its beneficial qualities rather than its relationship to marijuana.

Examples of garments commonly made with hemp include dresses, skirts, pants, jackets, T-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, and clothing for children. While some hemp fabric purists may choose to use 100% hemp products, it is also common to mix this type of fabric with other textiles. For instance, blends of cotton and hemp are popular. Blending hemp with other fabrics can make this textile softer while remaining durable.
