Hemp Plant-Dyed Fabric, 58" Wide, 230 GSM
$48.16Sin IVA
Descripción
A quietly striking hemp fabric dyed with plant-based colorants, carrying the depth and irregular beauty that only natural dyeing can produce. At 230 GSM, this is a solid mid-to-upper midweight cloth—durable, breathable, and reassuringly substantial without feeling stiff or bulky. The woven surface gives the textile a gentle, living texture, while the botanical shades read layered and nuanced rather than flat. This is a slow-made, craft-forward cloth suited to makers who value longevity, provenance, and tactile honesty.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is woven from long-staple hemp yarns in a balanced plain weave. After weaving, it is dyed using plant-based pigments in small, controlled batches. The process prioritizes low-impact color application and fiber integrity over perfect uniformity, allowing each yard to retain subtle tonal variation. The cloth is finished lightly to refine the hand while preserving hemp’s natural strength and breathability.
