Hemp’s innate eco-friendliness and relation to marijuana also means that hemp clothing is closely associated with hippie culture, a subculture that is, in turn, almost synonymous with getting high. However, brands today are not just selling knitted pullovers for after-school smokers.
Eco-conscious brands are turning hemp fabrics into modern styles and fashions, making products that were once very limited in scope and production into something novel and, dare we say, chic. As the world engages ever increasingly with their carbon footprint and impact on the environment, more people are turning to hemp as a solution to lessen their environmental impact.
Hemp seeds are also a great source of vitamin E and minerals, such as phosphorus, potassium, sodium, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, and zinc (1, 2 ). Hemp seeds can be consumed raw, cooked, or roasted. Hemp seed oil is also very healthy and has been used as a food and medicine in China for at least 3,000 years
The hemp seed is considered a ‘super food’
Hemp is one of the strongest and most durable organic fibers available today, which makes it an excellent choice for outerwear. Hemp clothing is even said to have triple the tensile strength of cotton.
What makes hemp so great?
Hemp fabric is biodegradable, compostable and recyclable
Thermodynamic! It keeps you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s hot
It is antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-allergen
It is the worlds only naturally UV resistant fabric!
Hemp is an extremely durable, hard wearing fabric 5x the tensile strength of cotton and 3x more durable. It also gets softer with age.
Hemp is a highly absorbent fabric, meaning it retains the colour and quality when dyed, much more than cotton or linen
Strong structure means it doesn’t lose shape easily and having an elastic fibre, results in less creasing
Hemp is amazing and i Love it !!!!!
