We wholesale hemp febrics
from nepal in natural colors,
and other dyeing colors
avilabes in meters. This is
complete handmade products
of nepal and just feel eco
friendly. Handloomed hemp
fabric is like a work of art. It
takes many hours work to
produce these magnificent
rolls and to support the
Nepalese women that weave
this eco-fabric we sell it at
near cost.
When the hemp is thick
enough the stalks are cut, tied
in bundles and dried in the
sun. A process that usually
takes around 2 weeks. When
the sap has dried the stalks
are split and the fibres are
separated into rough strips,
ready for a good pounding to
make them softer and more
pliable.
After handspinning the yarn is
ready for weaving. Being a
bast fibre (a fibre from the
stalk of the plant, not the fruit
or flowers) hemp is rather
stiff and hardwearing. It can
absorb more moisture than
cotton before feeling wet, and
has natural anti-bacterial
qualities.
The texture, natural colour
and "starchiness" of
handloomed hemp make it
perfect for table runners,
napkins, placemats, curtains,
handbags, beachpants,
cushion covers and curtains.
It is sold by the roll, with each
roll being approx 30cm wide
and 4 metres long. Hemp is
most similar in properties to
linen (another bast fibre also
known as flax). It bleaches
naturally in the sun and holds
a crease well.
Hemp will shrink by around
5% so please pre-wash if you
are using it for anything other
than napery. Hemp gets
softer with every wash.
