Textiles

Hemp is ideal for making all kinds of textiles, from rope and twine to fine linens. Hemp is one of the world's strongest natural fibers. It produces high yields and is extremely renewable. Hemp has been a major source of clothing over the centuries. In fact, the word "canvas" is derived from the word cannabis. It is more comfortable than wool, and often much more available than cotton or silk. Hemp is also superior to most natural and synthetic fibers because it can be soft or course, and in all forms is strong and durable and lasts a long time. It can be made as soft as silk, as breathable as cotton, and as thick as wool. Hemp clothing is nothing new in many parts of the world, but the US is finally beginning to catch up to where we used to be. Companies like Walt Disney, Spirit, and Calvin Klein are introducing hemp into their clothing. 100% hemp Converse all stars are available, and other shoe companies like Deja Shoe, Adidas, and Vans are using hemp for the tops of sneakers.
