Hemp Denim
Hand-woven selvedge denim, woven with hemp yarn in both the warp and the weft.
Due to new innovations in the milling process, hemp yarn could now revolutionise the denim industry and offer a viable sustainable alternative to virgin cotton.
The selvedges are left undyed, and the main warp is dyed using natural indigo, with henna and lime as the natural reduction agents.
No virgin cotton has been used, and no toxic chemicals in the dye vat. All woven by hand on a large wooden Toika Floor loom.
