All year blanket hemp

Although hemp is still rarely used as a filling for bedding, it is an obvious choice as hemp fibers have outstanding moisture and temperature regulating properties. Comforters with a hemp filling can therefore be used in both winter and summer. This is thanks to the fiber structure: unlike linen, hemp fibers are hollow on the inside. Inside the fibers, hemp can store heat-insulating air and therefore keep you warm. At the same time, hemp fibers (like linen) are able to absorb a lot of moisture - up to a third of their own weight - without feeling damp. And they can also quickly wick moisture away again, which means that hemp is not only perceived as cooling, but also ensures a dry sleeping environment. Another plus point, especially for those who prefer lightweight comforters: hemp fibers have a low weight. For our all-season comforter, the pure hemp fibers are processed into a breathable fleece that is quilted with a ticking made of fine, skin-friendly cotton satin, the cotton for which comes from controlled organic cultivation. The filling weight is between that of the summer comforter and the hemp comforter for winter. The all-season hemp comforter is therefore also suitable for anyone who likes it a little warmer in summer or doesn't need such a thick comforter in winter. Our hemp comforters cannot be washed, but that doesn't matter because the hemp fibres are naturally antimicrobial, antistatic and dirt-repellent due to their smooth surface and the fact that they contain no proteins (such as keratin and lanolin) and are also very well tolerated by allergy sufferers. We recommend that you air the blanket well on a regular basis.

Hemp, along with flax and nettle, is one of our oldest useful and cultivated plants. Until the 19th century, they were important raw materials for the clothing industry, for ropes, ropes, sailcloth and much more. With the industrial revolution and the triumph of cotton, the robust fiber plants lost importance, but as rapidly renewable, natural raw materials they already score points during cultivation and harvesting and are therefore among the most sustainable materials today.
For example, hemp requires significantly less water than cotton. Hemp is frugal and pest-resistant, so there is no need to use herbicides, insecticides or synthetic fertilizers either during cultivation or during harvesting and processing. With its large root system, the deep-rooted plant ensures good soil loosening, which has a positive effect on soil rigidity. And hemp suppresses wild weed growth, which benefits crops grown later in the rotation. But even as a monoculture, hemp can be grown on the same land for several years without any problems thanks to its self-tolerance.
Finally, hemp as a textile is also superior to cotton in many properties: Resistance and wear resistance of the long, tear-resistant fibers are significantly better, which is why even sailcloth used to be made from hemp. Even today, extraction and processing are very costly, but thanks to new processes it is now possible to spin very fine, uniform yarns from the rather rough hemp fiber bundles, as required for clothing and bedding. The use as filling for bedding, on the other hand, is relatively new.
Until 1996, the cultivation of commercial hemp was prohibited in Germany; since then, the share of local and also European hemp production has been increasing, but it is far from being able to meet the strongly increased demand. The majority of processed hemp fiber therefore comes from China.
