A wonderful blend of hemp and cotton with the positive aspects of both. Has a nice 2 way stretch and is soft to the touch. For anything you would make in jersey but is going to last a lot longer! This fabric is replacing our HJ (Hemp Jersey) with a much lower price, wider width and it's just slightly lighter in weight. It is now also bleached and optically whitened, so perfect for tie-dye and batik! This fabric ships in a bag instead of on a bolt.

This fabric takes dye beautifully and has a drape and sheen that is wonderful for summer apparel. However the 10-yard cut I purchased was so skewed that I had to spend a considerable amount of time stretching it on the diagonal so I could make a garment that would hang straight and not twist. I will not be purchasing this fabric again.

As a replacement for the original Hem Cotton Jersey fabric it is very much whiter and brighter but I miss the original thicker and slightly nubby texture. From my experience so far dyes come out a bit pinkercooler because this is so bright white of a fabric. It is slightly rougherstiffer than the original HCJ but not a whole lot. The fabric feels like a normal cotton knit but if using the fabric as-is for a top I would not wear without another layer underneath.

i really miss the old hempcotton jersey. This one is very light very bright and so different i cannot really use it for my purposes. I order it from time to time for special projects but it pales in comparison to the "old" fabric.

There is a weird bias to this fabric but I decided to just match the selvages and cut it out normally. It worked the shirt doesn't hang funny or skew after washing. You can see however that the 'grain' (if you can call it that with knitted fabric) runs at about a 35degree angle. All in all though the T is comfortable and washes well. But I think instead of getting more of this fabric I'll buy a regular men's hemp T-shirt and refashion it to fit me.

The skew is otherworldly. I didnt dare use it for outerwear but instead made toddler sleepwear and I could not find a single interfacing that cooperated with it. But the struggle and doubling it on itself as a self-facing was worth it. Even though this is a soft slubbed thinner knit it didnt make pills or worn spots despite a lot of squirming stain treatment and laundering. If you need a thin knit project to have any abrasion resistance reach for this.
