With a slight silk sheen and a fine, thin feel, this fabric beautifully complements our Natural Hemp Silk Charmeuse and is the natural choice for so many fancy applications. Hemp adds durability to this fabric and the raw silk "look" (it's not technically raw but retains the characteristics) gives it a look which suits both casual and formal wear, interior decorating and crafting. You'll love the feel and how sumptuously it drapes!

Made from tussah silk and naturally-grown hemp raised as a companion crop in the fields of China without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. The vast, vast majority of the silkworms are allowed to work their way free of the cocoon and continue their lives; the few that don't end up as highly-prized delicacies for the fiber workers. Farm and mill workers are paid a fair wage for their work, receive benefits, and have a significant amount of say about their jobs. Purchase this fabric knowing you are making a difference!

At 6 ounces per linear yard, this fabric weighs about 3.8 ounces per square yard.
