There are many reasons Hemp is a good choice if you're looking for a sustainable fabric. It requires less land and water to grow than other materials such as cotton, and doesn't require the use of harmful pesticides or synthetic feritilizers. Hemp plants also have a rapid growth cycle, leading them to produce a higher fiber yield per acre than cotton and flax plants.

Hemp Fabric is made by first harvesting hemp plants, then soaking the stalks in water to break down the natural pectins that hold the fibers together. The fibers are then cut out and spun into yarn or cloth. Hemp fabric is composed entirely of these fibers.
