Hemp has been used industrially for centuries as building material, insulation, textiles, and food, and since now its green properties are so extolled, it is also used to make paper, biodegradable plastics, and biofuel. And now it's being used to make dog beds, accessories, and attire, to replace nylon, poly-blends and even cotton as a preferred fabric. No pesticides are needed for growing, it is almost instantly replenished once picked, and grows in near drought conditions.
One of the neat things about hemp textiles is that they soften over time as they become stronger. I know it seems like it should be the reverse, but that's why hemp is an ecologically superior fabric: it doesn't wear out. It resists not only wear, but stains, and tearing.
