Black Hemp Fabric
1. Fabric overview

A textured black hemp fabric with an open woven structure, dry natural handfeel, and visible yarn character. At approx. 270 GSM, it has more body than lightweight hemp gauze, while still carrying a breathable, slightly airy quality due to the openness of the weave.

2. How it’s made

Woven from hemp yarns with a rustic, open construction, this fabric has a natural slubbed surface and a slightly uneven texture. The black shade gives it a minimal, versatile look while allowing the woven structure to remain visible under light.
