After retting, the plant stalks are decorticated to remove bark and separated into long fibers for textile use and shorter fibers for other applications.
The fiber is known for its strength and durability, good moisture absorption, and breathability. It is relatively
Production of hamppukuitu involves retting (dew, water, or enzymatic) to loosen the fibers from the stalk, followed
In addition to textiles, hamppukuitu is valued for sustainability characteristics: hemp grows quickly, generally requires fewer
