Himalayan Hemp Fabric: Naturally Dyed, 58" Wide, 238 GSM
$46.88Excl. VAT
Description
A distinctive Himalayan hemp fabric dyed with natural colorants and finished for thoughtful making. At 238 GSM, this is a solid mid-to-upper midweight cloth with quiet strength, breathability, and a tactile, slightly dry hand that is characteristic of high-quality hemp. The fabric carries subtle tonal variation within each shade—an intentional result of plant-based dyeing that gives the textile depth, provenance, and an artisan presence. This is a slow-made, craft-forward fabric suited to makers who value durability, texture, and natural color.
2) How It’s Made
This cloth is woven from long-staple Himalayan hemp fibers into a balanced plain weave, then dyed using natural pigments derived from plant and earth sources. The dyeing process is low-impact and small-batch, allowing for nuanced, organic variation rather than perfectly uniform color. The fabric is finished lightly to refine the hand while preserving hemp’s inherent strength and breathability.
