Hemp clothing is a popular and effective type of fiber that can be used
for several purposes. Not only does it have value in clothing, but it also
is eco-friendly. Hemp clothing is made out of the stalks of hemp plants.
The plants are made of three different parts, the bud, the seed and the
stalk. The bud part of the plant is typically the part used to smoke marijuana.
The seeds are used to make oil, beauty products and food. The stalk part
of the plant is used for the clothing, ropes, skin care, paints, printing
ink, building material, paper, fuel, and plastic. The leading use for this
plant is in clothing.
Qualities of Hemp Fiber
1. Lightweight
2. Weather Resistant – This includes UV protection as well as mold-resistant.
3. Versatile
4. Strong – Hemp will usually hold three times the strength of cotton.
5. Absorbent

body temperature. If it is warm or cold outside, it will be able to naturally
cool or warm your body.
7. Gets better with age – Every time you wash hemp, the fibers become relaxed,
making the material softer and more comfortable to wear.
8. Environment Friendly – Not only is hemp more cost effective when being grown,
but it also doesn't need chemicals, pesticides, or as much water for growth
as other types of fiber would.
9. Use of Land – Hemp can have up to three crops in the same area per year.
10. Production – Theses plants can hold up to three times more fiber per acre
than trees, making their growth cycle more effective for the environment.
