Hemp Vegan Faux Fur 48%H 40%C 12%RPET - 500gsm

Product Specification

This luxuriously soft vegan faux fur fabric is perfect for making blankets, throws, hoodies, scarves, cushion covers and so much more!

Made from organic hemp and cotton, with 12% recycled polyester. Of course, we would rather this fur had no polyester at all, and this is the first ever fabric we’ve stocked with polyester in the mix, but after testing multiple different blends Hempiness found that a small amount (12%) was needed to make this faux fur fabric. Most vegan faux fur fabrics are made with 100% synthetic fibres, so we feel that this is a massive step in the right direction. In the future, Hempiness are hoping to eradicate the synthetic element completely, but for now they have settled for using only recycled materials as a compromise. In the meantime, the 48% hemp content helps to offset the carbon footprint of the recycled polyester (hemp is nature’s greatest carbon sink, after all).

If people are going to use a faux fur fabric, it might as well be 88% organic rather than 100% synthetic.

A few things to consider when buying our fabrics...

Shrinkage

Please note, natural fabrics will shrink when washed anywhere from 5%-12% depending upon the weave and composition. Always pre-wash first to desired temperature.

All natural fabrics will shrink unless they have been hammered by high temperature washes, treatments and finishes - all of that contributes to a larger footprint on our planet - at the hemp shop we never do that.

Priced by the metre

Priced per full metre length plus offers on 10m, 25m, 50m & 100m. For orders of 50m and above, please contact us for stock/delivery times. Pre-cuts & Off-cuts of assorted lengths available here

Always order a swatch first

We always recommend checking with a new swatch before ordering, as the minimal treatment and organic cultivation methods may result in subtle changes in the hemp fibres from batch to batch. So the fabric you bought last year might be subtly different to the fabric you buy today.

Check for faults, imperfections or marks

Please check the fabric for any faults, imperfections or marks as soon as it arrives, as we are unable to accept returns of washed or cut fabric. Due to the minimal sustainable methods used during the production of the yarns, our fabrics are never intensively bleached, and as such they retain all of their natural character. Slubs and slight discolourations in hemp fabrics are not flaws, they are part and parcel of working with such pure and natural fibres.

Cut fabrics are non-refundable

Please note, that once sent, all cut fabrics are non-refundable so please order a swatch if uncertain.

Hemp fabric is...

Biodegradable, compostable and recyclable

Hemp is a natural plant fibre. It is 100% biodegradable and does not harm the environment in any way!

Thermodynamic

It keeps you warm when it’s cool and cool when it’s hot.

Antibacterial, antifungal and anti-allergen

Hemp naturally fights off bacteria and fungi such as mold, keeping your fabric smelling fresh. It's also hypoallergenic, making it a perfect choice for anyone with allergies to other natural fibres.

Breathable and insulating

Hemp’s hollow shafts mean it is breathable, and also insulating.

UV resistant

Hemp is the worlds only naturally UV resistant fabric, perfect for keeping the harmful rays of the sun from damaging your skin.

Durable

Hemp is an extremely durable, hard wearing fabric. 5x the tensile strength of cotton and 3x more durable. It also gets softer with age.

Absorbent

Hemp is a highly absorbent fabric, meaning it retains the colour and quality when dyed, much more than cotton or linen.

Strong structure

Hemp doesn’t lose shape easily and having an elastic fibre, results in less creasing when compared to some other natural fibres.
