Abstract
The number of companies manufacturing and selling textiles
based on hemp fibers are gradually increasing worldwide. Hemp
fabric or hemp textiles are made from cannabis sativa fiber or
industrial hemp. Being a natural, renewable and biodegradable
material, hemp enjoys obvious advantages over synthetic textile
materials like acrylic, polyester, nylon and spandex used for making
fabrics.
