Despite its luxuriously silky feel, this jersey is definitely still strong, so great to use for clothes that will last. Hemp has 5x the tensile strength and 3x the durability of cotton, so you know this fabric will really stand the test of time As you can probably tell, we’re mad about hemp, and this wonderful Jersey is 100% 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
