Extraction and processing of hemp fibre

Hemp fibre is extracted from the herbaceous plant of the same name, a member of the cannabis sativa species that grows in temperate climates, such as in Italy.

It is a very high-yield plant, and the fibrous part is obtained from its stem.

 

Properties of hemp yarns: thermal-insulating and breathable

Structurally, hemp fibre is hollow and hygroscopic. These are properties that ensure hemp yarns are both highly thermal-insulating and breathable, like wool: warm in winter and cool in summer.

Hemp yarns shield from UV rays and electrostatic fields, are anallergic and naturally antibacterial.

 

Sustainable processing for hemp fibre

Hemp is an ecological fibre that can be cultivated without fertilisers, pesticides and herbicides.

It grows quickly and attracts few parasites. It can also remediate polluted soils by enriching the soil with sulphur and converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.

Hemp is mainly processed by hand, and is considered sustainable.
