Description:

Cultivating hemp doesn’t need chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides. Hemp’s fibers can be manufactured into textiles that can produce shirts.

How it’s Made:

Hemp fabric is a type of textile that is made from hemp fibers coming from the stalks of a Cannabis Sativa plant. This plant has been recognized as a source of extraordinarily tensile and durable textile fibers.(1)

Advantages:

Hemp is a strong and durable organic fiber. It is absorbent, lightweight and sturdy. Clothing made from hemp is noted to have triple tensile strength of cotton.(2)

Disadvantages:

Since hemp clothing is organic, they are not usually treated with the same anti-wrinkle formulas as cotton or synthetic clothing resulting to crease in areas when it is worn. The creasing will cause fibers to break leading to holes.(3)

History:

The oldest artifact of human industry is a piece of hemp fabric dating back to 8000 BC as per the Columbia History of the World.(4)

Looking to the Future:

The possibility for hemp fabrics are immense in the future. Hemp having a vast potential to be produced cheaply, it will eventually supersede cotton, linen and polyester.(5)
