Collection: Hemp

Hemp is a super-star natural fibre that comes from the Cannabis plant.

• The most sustainable natural fibre (in my humble opinion). Usually no pesticides or fungicides are used because it has few serious fungus or pest problems.
• Hemp requires less water to thrive than cotton (is actually drought tolerant) and usually grows well without irrigation.  
• Stronger and more durable than any other natural fibre. It holds its shape, stretching less than any other natural fibre.
• Inherent lustre and light reflective qualities are enhanced by washing; it becomes finer and more luxurious with use.
• Possesses excellent soil-release properties because it sheds a microscopic layer each time it is laundered.
• Superior absorbency means that it is very breathable and quick drying. It can absorb up to 20% its own weight while still feeling dry to the touch.
• High resistance to ultraviolet light; it will not fade or disintegrate from sunlight as quickly as other natural fibres. 
• Natural and biodegradable.
