Why hemp yarn? Industrial hemp is one of the most sustainable raw materials we know. Hemp has been cultivated in our country for nearly 9,000 years. Even before the Hungarian conquest, the Hungarians knew the plant and how it was processed. The Hungarian hemp industry had its heyday in the 1950s and 1960s. The fiber was produced by 9 hemp factories and processed by 4 spinning mills and 3 weaving mills. Some information about hemp: At least twenty-five thousand types of products can be produced from hemp. All parts can be used, and most industries can use them. The tree grows in 10-20 years, while the hemp is ready to harvest after four months. It is resistant to pests, so it does not require pesticides.
