Early February means two days of catching up with friends and colleagues .
There was such a buzz around the Alliance for European **p’s beautiful stand. And the chance to meet the men and women who transform these European-grown plants into versatile fibres.
Seeing the results of the **p4Circularity project and the reveal of the pilot fabrics using long fibre, European-grown h**p was incredibly exciting. H**p, as a bast fibre, is complementary to linen, and has its own expression: density, texture, relief, presence! There are so many interesting handles and potential end uses: knits, denim, furnishing and more.
Many thanks to Nathalie Revol, h**p project manager at Lin et Chanvre Bio , for explaining the project’s outcome and answering our many questions about processing h**p.
