Hemp Beanie Hat

Description

~* Hemp Beanie Hat *~

This trendy hemp beanie is stylish, and has such super strong eco credentials too! Did you know that Hemp is loads better for the environment than cotton? See below for more details. And The hemp beanie is completely hand made from start to finish in Nepal, and is plastic free AND Vegan too!

The hat is a classic beanie shape and is made from hand grown, spun and knitted/crocheted hemp. The Hemp is coloured with natural plant-based dyes, for a deep colour that has natural highlights for  lovely effect, or go au naturel with unbleached and undyed natural hemp colour.

Hemp is a much tougher and stiffer fibre than cotton or wool, and therefore the hemp beanie can feel quite strange, even rough, to begin with. However, it does soften on wear, and will soften more if it is washed resulting in a super comfortable hat that is shaped perfectly to your head. The hemp beanie is surprisingly warm, but breathable too and although not waterproof will resist a light shower.

100% Hemp. Handmade and Fairly Traded from Nepal with Love. Suitable for Vegans

Handwash your hemp beanie in cold or luke warm water. Do not Tumble Dry. Natural dyes may run when wet and may transfer onto other surfaces. Wash Dark colours seperately.

Please note that the exact colour and weave of the hemp beanie may differ slightly from that pictured, this is due to all items being handmade and dyed in individual dye lots, therefore there is some variation. This is not a fault and is part of the unique charm of the product.

Hemp Beanie – The Benefits of Hemp over cotton

Did you know that Hemp is better for the environment than cotton? It grows with far less water, without the excessive use of pesticides and fertilisers and does not need any herbicides. Additionally hemp grows super quick,  it can be ready to harvest in as little as ten weeks, with a yield 3 x greater than that of cotton per square metre of land. Even better the roots aerate the soil, remove very few nutrients and leave the earth in perfect condition to grow more crops. Hemp can be processed by traditional methods using very little energy and is perfect for handweaving due to the strong fibres. We are moving towards more hemp – based products as part of our commitment to the environment and fair trade. Read more here.
