The expanding interest in natural fibres, particularly in the home furnishings market has resulted in renewed interest in hemp fibre. Its strength, durability, absorbency and resistance to rotting and UV degradation make hemp fibre an attractive new alternative in technically demanding applications.
Hempline Inc. of Delaware, Ontario, is pleased to announce the creation of the first Canadian hemp upholstery fabrics. Produced from Canadian Hempline fibre, a wide selection of hemp-blended fabrics are now on display at the Building & Design Resource Centre at Designers Walk in Toronto. The hemp-blended upholstery fabrics are being introduced from Iguana Designs by Rose Fabrics of Montreal. These fabrics are characterized by their natural look and original dobby and jacquard patterns and are suitable for a wide range of applications. The Resource Centre is located at Designers Walk, 168 Bedford Road, Toronto. Tel (416) 961-1211 Production of Canadian Hemp Fibre for Textiles Accelerating Hempline Inc. now offers hemp fibre in a variety of staple lengths suitable for spinning on cotton, woolen and worsted spinning systems, at competitive prices. The expanding interest in natural fibres, particularly in the home furnishings market has resulted in renewed interest in hemp fibre. Its strength, durability, absorbency and resistance to rotting and UV degradation make hemp fibre an attractive new alternative in technically demanding applications. Grown without pesticides, hemp also maintains a strong, "earth-friendly" appeal. Now that Hempline has commercial quantities of premium-quality, North American hemp fibre available, yarn and fabric producers, and designers, can be assured of a consistent supply of hemp fibre for their products. Hempline Inc. has developed a comprehensive grading system for the raw material used in the production of its hemp fibre to ensure the fibre is of consistent and premium-quality. Hemp is an annual crop grown for the long slender fibres in the stalk, and the wood-like core fibres on the inside of the stalk. In the spring of 1998, Health Canada implemented commercial growing regulations making it legal to grow hemp again in Canada after a 40-year ban. Hempline Inc. was the first North American company to grow hemp in modern times when it planted its test crop near Tillsonburg, Ontario, in 1994. Since that time, the company has implemented a modern hemp crop production and processing facility for hemp fibre suitable for textiles.
