The hemp plant belongs to the stalk fibers or baster fibers determined by fiber bundles. The so-called roasting of the fibers serves to separate the fiber components of the stalks from the rest of the plant.
Commercial hemp is an undemanding filigree plant in itself, it does not require pesticides and herbicides in cultivation. From an ecological point of view, hemp can be considered a very sustainable and environmentally friendly raw material. The hemp plant is able to protect itself from weeds and pests. The water consumption of 300 to 500 liters for one kilogram of dried commercial hemp compared to 18,000 liters for cotton is much lower.
Hemp yarns are very similar to linen when dry, they become softer when worn and also after washing. Hemp absorbs up to 30% moisture. The advantage of hemp is that hemp clothes hardly tend to smell buying even after wearing.
The hemp yarn has a good strength and suitable for hand weaving even in the warp. The fiber of hemp is recyclable, tear-resistant, durable and stain-resistant, it cools in summer and warms conditionally in winter.
