Hemp Striped Dobby Fabric, 58" Wide, 370 GSM
$26.49Excl. VAT
Description
A robust, heritage-leaning pure hemp dobby with quiet architectural texture. At 370 GSM, this is a heavy, performance-minded cloth—strong, breathable, and long-wearing—yet refined enough for considered making. The dobby pattern adds subtle dimensional interest that catches light without visual noise, giving the fabric depth and presence. This reads artisan, durable, and slow-made: a textile that will soften with use while retaining its structural integrity for years.
2) How It’s Made
This fabric is woven from long-staple hemp yarn on a dobby loom, which allows small-scale geometric patterning to be integrated directly into the cloth rather than printed or embossed. The ground is a stable base weave with raised dobby elements that create texture, air pockets, and visual depth. The finish is clean and functional, preserving hemp’s natural strength and breathability while refining the hand for apparel and home use.
