Handwoven Hemp-Cotton Yardage

Description

Handwoven Hemp-Cotton Yardage

This handwoven-hemp-cotton-yardage fabric is handwoven in rural Romanian villages from locally grown, processed and spun hemp. The fabric is vintage and no longer being produced. The towels are a sturdy plain weave in a hemp cotton blend. These towels are wonderful for the bath or kitchen and grow softer with use. They are also great for dyeing, printing or painting with natural dyes.

Sold in one yard increments.  If you’d like more than one yard, simply increase the number of yards and we will send you one length of fabric. The fabric is 14-16 inches wide.

Hemp possesses great strength, softness and durability while its weight and drape are similar to linen and the fabric softens with age and use. Of course, it dyes beautifully. Our handwoven hemp-cotton yardage is handwoven in rural Romanian villages from locally grown, processed and spun hemp. This fabric is vintage, woven between 50 and 80 years ago and may show the its age. Although this is an unused, first quality fabric, the fabric may contain storage and dye or soil marks, weaving irregularities, minor abrasion or holes and other indicators of a handwoven rurally made textile.
