Hemp sliver

Long, combed and aligned fibre obtained from the stem of industrial hemp. It is a semi-finished product that serves as a basis for the production of yarn and high-quality textiles. It is the foundation for producing very strong textiles, ropes, cords, sailcloth, as well as finer fabrics for clothing. The material is naturally antibacterial, antistatic, and hypoallergenic, and thanks to its rustic structure it has a natural appearance.
