Descripción
1. Fabric Overview
A refined, naturally dyed hemp fabric available in four earthy, plant-derived shades.
At 183 GSM, this is a versatile light-to-midweight cloth—breathable, durable, and beautifully tactile.
The colours carry subtle depth and tonal variation inherent to botanical dyeing, giving the textile a quiet artisanal presence rather than industrial uniformity.
This is a slow-made, craft-forward fabric for makers who value longevity, texture, and honest natural colour.
2. How It’s Made
This cloth is woven from long-staple hemp fibres in a balanced plain weave and then dyed using natural pigments derived from plant and earth sources.
The fabric is dyed in small, controlled batches. The process prioritises low-impact colour application and fibre integrity over perfect uniformity, allowing each shade to retain gentle, organic variation.
A light, garment-appropriate finish preserves hemp’s inherent strength, breathability, and natural surface character.

Natural Dye Disclaimer
* Mild crocking or colour transfer may occur initially

* Slight tonal variation and colour irregularity are natural characteristics of small-batch dyeing and should not be considered defects
