Hemp is one of the most ecologically friendly sources of fabric in the world. It grows well without herbicides, fungicides or pesticides. Hemp has a deep root system that helps to prevent soil erosion, removes toxins, provides a disease break, and aerates the soil to the benefit of future crops.
Hemp fibre is one of the strongest and most durable natural textile fibres. Not only is it strong, but it also holds its shape, having one of the lowest percent elongation of any natural fibre. As a result, hemp clothing lasts 3-4 times longer then cotton products.
Hemp outperforms other fabrics in a variety of other ways, too. It has the best ratio of heat capacity of all fibres, giving it superior insulation properties – it helps keep you cool in heat & warm in cold. Hemp is resistant to mildew & bacteria, and is highly regarded for its UV protection as well. Compared to cotton, hemp is more absorbent to dyes, and less prone to fading. Hemps superior performance properties make it a perfect partner in blending hemp/cotton fabrics.
