Revolutionizing the textile industry

Something big is happening right now in the textile industry. Cotton's time of reign as crop number one in clothing is about to change.

Bullshit, you might think.

No, I'm serious. I've gained some inside information about a technology that is about to hit the fan. It's ready to be commercialized and will transform the textile industry.

Until very recent, hemp could not be used in clothing simply because the material was too coarse. It bothers us hempsters very little (Hampisfären, thanks for the 100 % hemp/pirate shirt and pants!), but might be less suitable from a designer and consumer perspective.

What this awesome new way of processing hemp does is... well, a pictures says more than a thousand words - here's four!

Mmmhm, 100 % hemp. Just feel the softness stemming out from the picture.

Oh yeah, and the best of all: being produced into this form makes it possible to use in all cotton spinning weaves.

Stay tuned, change is coming ;)
