We stock more than 90 hemp fabrics, sold by the yard: woven canvas, linen, muslin, twill and denim, and knit jersey, rib, French terry and fleece. They run from a 2.6 oz hemp silk to a 20 oz 100% hemp canvas, in pure hemp and in blends with organic cotton, silk, Tencel and Lycra. Every fabric is sold by the yard from one yard up, and volume pricing applies automatically in the cart at 50, 250 and 500 yards of the same fabric.
Our customers are clothing brands and small-batch designers, upholsterers, bag and accessory makers, quilters and sewists, and anyone who wants a hemp textile that outlasts cotton. Not sure where to start? Order a hemp fabric swatch book and handle the fabrics before you buy yardage.
Our largest range: hemp canvas, hemp linen, muslin, twill, denim, hemp silk and plain weaves. Wovens hold their shape and do not stretch, which suits pants, jackets, bags, upholstery and home goods.
Hemp jersey, rib knits, French terry and terry cloth, fleece, thermal and waffle knits. Knits stretch and drape, so they are the choice for t-shirts, leggings, hoodies, baby clothes and towels.
Prices, volume tiers and stock are live from our store and are per yard. Click a fabric for width, color and composition, and to add it to your cart.

100% Hemp vs Hemp Blends
Pure hemp fabric is the strongest and most linen-like: crisp and a little textured at first, then softer with every wash. Blending changes the hand. Hemp with organic cotton (most often 55% hemp, 45% organic cotton) is softer from the first wear and is our most popular base for apparel. Lycra or spandex adds stretch for fitted pieces, silk adds sheen and drape, and Tencel adds smoothness. If you want the most hemp and the longest life, choose 100% hemp. If the fabric goes against skin all day, a hemp and organic cotton blend is the easier start. Each product name lists its exact composition.
Wholesale pricing is built into every fabric: order 50, 250 or 500 yards of the same fabric and the per-yard price drops in the cart, no account or code needed. For full rolls, repeat production runs, or quantities beyond the listed tiers, send a quote request with the fabric, yardage and delivery address.
Online checkout ships within the United States. If you are ordering from outside the US, send us a message before you order. Most of our woven and knit hemp fabrics are milled overseas, and the country of origin is listed on each product page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I buy hemp fabric by the yard?

Do you sell hemp fabric wholesale?
Yes. Volume pricing applies automatically at 50, 250 and 500 yards of the same fabric. For full rolls or larger runs, request a quote.
Is all of your hemp fabric 100% hemp?
No. We carry more than 20 fabrics that are 100% hemp, and the rest are hemp blends with organic cotton, silk, Tencel, recycled polyester or Lycra. The composition is in each product name.
Which hemp fabric is right for my project?
Use canvas at 16 to 20 oz for bags, upholstery and workwear; twill, denim or light canvas at 8 to 12 oz for pants and jackets; jersey, muslin or linen at 5 to 7 oz for shirts, dresses and bedding; and hemp silk or light linen under 4 oz for blouses and linings.
Does hemp fabric shrink?
Like other natural fibers, it can shrink in the first wash. Pre-wash yardage the way you plan to wash the finished piece before you cut, or choose our pre-washed fabrics.
Is hemp fabric soft?
Pure hemp starts crisp, like linen, and softens with washing and wear. Hemp and organic cotton blends and our washed fabrics are soft from the start.
Can I get samples?
Yes. Our swatch books hold small cuts of the woven and knit ranges, so you can compare weight, hand and color before ordering yardage.
