Such a splendid twill, made even better by the blend of hemp and organic cotton fibers. The hemp strengthens it, the cotton softens it, and the classic weave is completely irresistible.

Perfect for upholstery, business clothes, and so much more, this fabric really gets my creative juices flowing. I want to make a simple blazer with fancy pocket treatment -- or without, that would work too, I suppose. Or perhaps to dye the fabric first, or to make a slim skirt (even though I'm not a slim person!), or a nice tailored pair of slacks. I could make such glorious vests for my kids, for the rare occasions when they need to look really good, and it's perfect for things like playmats for pampered babies too.

Oh, and I just had such a splendid idea for a group project for all sorts of groups -- give everyone two same-size pieces of the twill and tell them to make pillows. Then see where they go -- maybe someone will choose to use a simple but vibrant easy-to-make piping; someone else might cover their pillow with buttons; another person may do colcha embroidery on theirs; little kids or those with less experience might choose to draw with fabric markers while others make lace flowers (and still other people may choose to make a bouquet of fabric yo-yos)... think how much fun it would be to see what different people do! (Or, conversely, think how much fun it would be to see what you come up with over the course of a few months, doing a new pillow each week...)

Made from naturally grown hemp and organic cotton, raised together as companion crops in the fields of China without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. 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 16.2 ounces per linear yard, this fabric weighs about 9.6 ounces per square yard.
