Blending hemp with cotton creates stronger, softer, more breathable, and durable textiles and nonwovens, combining hemp’s robustness (UV resistance, antimicrobial, water-saving) with cotton’s comfort, while offering superior sustainability to synthetics through biodegradability and reduced resource/chemical inputs, as both are natural, farmed fibers, grown on American farms that can capture carbon and require less water/pesticides than conventional cotton, lessening reliance on petroleum-based synthetics.

Hemp and Cotton are both natural fibers that are farmed from plants, both in the USA and around the world.

Natural Fibers such as Hemp and Cotton are more sustainable that synthetic fibers, such as polyester, which are chemically made from petroleum. 

Farmed fibers contribute to carbon sequestration (especially hemp!) and also contribute to rural agricultural economies, from the families that farm, to those that process those crops into useable fibers. 

Hemp and cotton also present additional benefits to each other. 

Hemp can be grown with less water and pesticides than cotton. So when something is made from a cotton : hemp blend, that product is overall more sustainable than if 100% cotton. 

Hemp adds strength and durability to a blend. Hemp is the strongest natural fiber on the planet and can increase both tensile strength and abrasion resistance to a blend. 

Cotton is soft- and makes using hemp in a blend feel great. 

Cotton is established- 100’s of years of cotton production have built robust supply chains and manufacturing. When hemp fiber is blended with cotton, it processes more easily and can move into cotton supply chains- from export opportunities, to domestic spinning, knitting and weaving opportunities.
