Hemp

Canapa scaled

Precious, light and sustainable

The hemp fiber suitable for use in textiles is obtained by mechanically working the fibrous part external to the stem of the plant. The growth of hemp is rapid and does not require special attention. It is sown in spring and harvested in late summer at the peak of ripeness. Once the hemp has been cut and harvested, we proceed with the different processing stages: scrabbling, combing and refining to obtain the tops, or staple, the primary element for spinning.

Properties of hemp fiber

Structurally, hemp fiber is hollow and hygroscopic, a perfect combination from which a yarn with a high thermal insulation and breathable capacity is obtained, which behaves like wool: cool in summer and warm in winter. Among the most resistant natural fibers to textile processing, hemp makes it possible to create a fabric that is more resistant to mechanical action, wear, tear and deformation than any other natural fabric. Hemp fabrics combine sturdiness with softness, thus making it possible to obtain particularly comfortable and comfortable garments.

The fabrics obtained from the hemp plant are also endowed with other very interesting properties: they reflect ultraviolet rays, shield from electrostatic fields, do not conduct electricity, do not irritate the skin because they are hypoallergenic and keep bacteria away from the surface of our body. because they are antiseptics.

Hemp in the environment

Hemp plantations do not need aggressive treatments with pesticides, herbicides or other chemicals. The plant can grow up to 4 meters, has robust roots that induce oxygenation of the soil and is capable of reclaiming polluted soils and enriching them (increasing their productivity) thanks to a strong supply of nitrogen. Hemp is also one of the most efficient plants in converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Other uses of Hemp

Hemp is a truly versatile plant and is suitable for use in various sectors, in food, in the pharmaceutical environment, in construction and in the arts and crafts.
