Hemp top, premium quality, natural

Today, hemp is being grown all over Europe, but the primary goal is seed production for food, so the fibre of the stalk is a by-product. Over-maturity results in a harsher more coarse fibre.

However, our hemp was grown in India and processed in China. It is softer than most and is a lovely pale gold colour with some lustre. The Chinese have an enzyme retting system superior to all others and the hemp is grown especially for its fine fibre. Hemp is an environmentally friendly fibre that grows so fast, and is so vigorous, that no pesticides or herbicides are needed.

Hemp blends well with wools and silk.

Hemp yarns and fabrics will soften with wear.
