Question: Organic cotton abounds in the baby clothing industry; what about hemp?
Answer: Hemp is a very durable, much stronger than cotton, and a breathable fabric that is often combined with organic cotton in the making of organic baby clothes.
Extremely comfortable, the fabric created from hemp is similar in appearance to linen, but far softer; it's also totally machine washable, which is great given the mess that babies often make. Naturally UV resistant, sensitive baby skin will be protected in the warm summer sun.
Hemp is grown naturally, without the use of pesticides, and is more ecological than cotton, which uses massive amounts of water to produce - whether it's organic or conventional. Given that fact, you can see why it is a preferred fiber in the making of organic clothing; a one-two-punch to help the environment.
