What is hemp clothing?
As a plant, hemp is very easy to grow and maintain, making it a great source of fiber for making rope and fabric. The stalk of the hemp plant is soaked to dissolve the pectin that holds the fibers together. The fibers are then processed and woven into yarn and thread. Good hemp fabric can be comparable to fine linen, with a very similar look and feel, or else it can have a rougher texture that is very distinct. Either way, hemp can fill a range of uses from fine clothing to industrial-strength packaging.As a fabric, it is:
· Breathable – natural fibers such as hemp "breathe" well and won't cause the wearer to get overly sticky or sweaty.
Great for the environment – hemp is literally a weed, requiring very little water or fertilizer to grow well. This makes it much easier to sustain than more high-maintenance crops, such as cotton.
Why choose hemp?
While it's definitely trendy to wear organic clothing, there are two very important reasons to choose these kinds of fashions: health and sustainability.When it comes to being "green," hemp fabric is a great choice. Since hemp is an easily renewable resource that requires little refining to make into comfortable fabrics, it doesn't take a lot of work or expensive equipment to produce hemp clothing. Hemp literally grows like a weed in many places! It doesn't require a lot of fertilizers to survive, and it's a lot easier and cheaper to grow than cotton. Putting this weed to good use is a great way to utilize an already abundant crop.
Clothing made from organic hemp fibers are not only good for the environment they're good for your health, too. Textile crops like cotton are generally sprayed with many different chemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to guarantee a full yield for the farmer. Conventional cotton farming also necessitates the use of chemical fertilizers since land is often planted repeatedly without any breaks. This can cause the soil to break down and requires the addition of artificial nutrients. These chemicals can stay present within the fiber of the plant and be absorbed by your body when you wear them as clothing.
