Description

VerdeHemp Bast™ is a decorticated, scutched and lightly carded bast fiber produced from industrial hemp grown on regenerative farms. Fiber is supplied greige (undyed) with batch traceability through lot IDs and a digital ledger. Fibers are processed using low-impact retting and mechanical decortication to preserve long bast strands while minimising retting effluent. Typical delivery is pressed bales for yarn spinning or blending. Suitable for woven and blended knitted applications where durability and low-water footprint are desired.
