Hemp Knit Sweater

This sweater is made from a 100% hemp knit and is available in an obsidian (black) color.

The hemp fabric in this garment has rich and supple texture, yet tremendous strength and durability. Hemp is an exceptionally comfortable and healthy fabric to wear, since it's hypoallergenic and nonirritating to the skin. Hemp provides unparalleled protection from UV radiation. Hemp fabric is very resistant to degradation from mold, bacteria, salt water, sunlight, abrasion, and chemicals, while being fully biodegradable (unlike synthetic fibers).

Hemp has excellent insulative and conductive qualities. When compared to cotton, for example, hemp is warmer yet breathes better. For hot weather, hemp has superior conductive qualities to those of all other textile fibers (equaled only by flax), allowing the wearer to feel cool, comfortable, and fresh in very hot and/or humid conditions.
