Black herringbone just might be the perfect woven fabric, and when created out of a durable hemp it's even more splendid! Lighter and more versatile than our glorious heavy hemp herringbones, the beautiful material has a classic appeal all of its own and washes and wears delightfully. This is an obvious choice for jackets, vests, skirts, and pants. Hemp's marvelous durability means you'll choose this for kids' clothes as well -- you put a lot of work into making their clothes; wouldn't it be nice if they survived to be passed down to future generations of lucky children? Absolutely stunning when used around the house, too. This fabric can make very impressive blackout curtains, for a better night's sleep. Colored using low-impact dyes.

If you're on the fence about this fabric, request a swatch -- you won't regret it. One hundred percent hemp, you can feel the difference in this material, and we're confident that you'll love it as we do. Tape or hem the edges before washing, or you'll lose a fair bit to fraying.

Made in China from naturally-grown hemp, raised without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Note that the hemp is not certified organic, though the fibers are grown in an ecologically-friendly fashion. 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 16.8 ounces per linear yard, this fabric weighs about 10.6 ounces per square yard.
