The blending of hemp and organic cotton


We consider hemp and (organic) cotton to be two complementary materials. Apart from the physical differences we see in textiles, the two fibres have their specific properties in terms of e.g. elasticity, insulating capacity, etc. In hemp/cotton blends, the best of two worlds is united in one fabric.

Many consumers consciously choose hemp because its cultivation does not have a major impact on the environment and because the plant has few requirements (water, soil structure) and therefore grows well in many places. For this reason, we would actually prefer more hemp, but at present both the scale of cultivation and processing is very limited.

By blending hemp with organic cotton, more hemp can be processed and more people can thus come into contact with this versatile material. Moreover, the addition of cotton reduces the price and makes a more elastic yarn that is easier to work with, especially in the knitting process, than yarn made of 100 per cent hemp.
