Heavy Hemp Linen - 55%H 45%C - 7.2oz
This is the fabric for you if you’re looking for something that is really rugged and strong that works amazingly well for any projects with a rustic, interior focus, particularly as it’s noticeably stiffer than most other fabrics we offer.
We think this Heavy Hemp Linen is especially good for shopping bags, furniture backing and aprons, although the only limit to this fabric’s uses, of course, is your own imagination!
As you can probably tell, we’re mad about hemp, and this brilliant Hemp Linen is 55% organic hemp. Hemp demands less water than alternative natural materials, and requires absolutely no pesticide, herbicide or chemical fertilizer in its production and is 100% biodegradable. It’s also a natural carbon sink, meaning that it is brilliant at capturing CO2 from the atmosphere and trapping it, and is able to grow in soil where other crops can’t, whilst leaving the earth better and more fertile than the day it was planted!
