Does hemp bedding is a friendly choice for nature and you?
Hemp fabric is highly appreciated in Lithuania as it is valued for its strength and durability. In general, hemp fabric is highly sustainable and is slowly gaining popularity as the environmental consciousness increases and the need for eco-friendly materials. That is why hemp bedding made out of this natural plant is one of a kind and is a perfect choice for you and nature.
Making hemp fabric is a relatively simple four-step process:
- Cultivation of hemp plant.
- Breaking down the hemp plant.
- The fiber extraction.
- Spinning the fibers to produce the textile.
Manufacturing hemp is similar to linen. Since both of the fibers are highly delicate, the process of making hemp into a fabulous fabric requires a substantial amount of knowledge and experience. The hemp plant takes between 80 to 120 days to reach maturity.
The hemp plant is harvested only using special machines, and then they are left in the fields to rett for several weeks. This step helps the fibers separate from the woody parts of the plant. Once this step is complete, the fibers are carded in strands, and leftover impurities are cleaned. The last step is to steam the fibers and spun them into yarn, used for making the textile.
These hemp manufacturing steps are what make hemp fabric entirely sustainable fabric. Since more and more people care about their impact on the environment and seek to lead a more eco-friendly lifestyle, they turn to hemp use as an alternative way.
If comparing the hemp fabric to other natural fibers fabric, for example, cotton, hemp requires 50% less water and land to grow. Also, another fantastic factor is that hemp for the cultivation process does not require toxic pesticides and insecticides, which can be extremely harmful not only for you but also for the environment.
One more thing about hemp and the plats friendliness of the planet is that all parts of this plant can be used. The fibers separated from the woody parts are used for textile, and the woody parts are usually used for other purposes, such as animal bedding. It is a highly biodegradable plant and can be composted that will not affect pollution.
