Hemp Burlap Crepe Fabric
1. Fabric overview

A lightweight hemp burlap crepe fabric, woven with an airy, open texture and a naturally crinkled surface inspired by Japanese crepe textiles. The fabric has a rustic hemp character, but feels lighter and more wearable than traditional burlap.

Available in 2 yarn-dyed shades:
Jet Black
Rust with Indigo

2. How it’s made

This fabric is woven using hemp yarns in a textured crepe-style construction with a subtle broken twill character. The weave creates an open, breathable surface with natural irregularity, gentle crinkle, and beautiful yarn movement.

The rust shade is yarn dyed with a mix of warm rust and indigo yarns, creating depth and contrast within the weave. The black shade has a deeper, more minimal look while still showing the raw hemp texture.
