Coarse hemp strands on the left beside finer cotton strands on the right ### Cotton fibre Cotton has a fineness suited to spinning. Start with a garment reference or swatch to shortlist fabric weights. Assess the finished hand, drape and opacity, then record GSM, tolerance and finish for the garment sample. ## Specifying hemp on a tech pack - **Fabric or finished garments?**: State which you need and the quantity. - **Composition**: List every fibre and its percentage. Name any other blend, such as hemp-merino, for sourcing to your brief. - **Construction**: Specify the weave, yarn count and fabric reference. - **Finished weight and tolerance**: Give the target in g/m² and the allowed variation. Use the [GSM calculator](/tools/gsm-calculator) with a cut swatch. - **Cuttable width**: Give the width needed for the marker. - **Finish and hand reference**: Name the finish and identify the swatch to match. - **Colour**: Give the colour reference for each fabric. - **Shrinkage**: Set length and width limits after the agreed wash. - **Wash conditions**: State the washing-machine type, detergent and drying procedure.

Hemp clothing softens with washing and wear. ### How do I compare hemp fabric with cotton? Match the construction and finished GSM of the two swatches, then assess them against the same garment reference. For all-cotton options, see [cotton](/materials/cotton). ### Is hemp fabric the same as linen? No. Linen is made from flax. Compare finished [linen](/materials/linen) and hemp swatches for the intended style. ### Is hemp the same as jute? No. Jute yarn is traditionally used for hessian cloth. See [jute](/materials/jute) for tote and shopper specifications. ### Can we buy hemp fabric without finished garments? Yes. We supply hemp fabric on its own, by the metre, to garment makers. ### How do we get a price for hemp fabric or clothing? For fabric, send the fabric reference, composition, construction, finished GSM, width and metres required. For garments, send a reference garment or tech pack, quantity, size breakdown and target price. A question this does not answer?
