Organic Hemp Hankies - 2-ply t-shirt knit

Experience a different kind of hanky! Soft organic interlock (t-shirt) fabric is gentle and absorbent. Unlike a traditional handkerchief, this hanky is wrinkle-free. It's also not a flannel hanky, prone to pilling and stiffness. Easy to wash, just throw them in with any load of laundry!

Try them in any size, but we prefer the little size (7x7) as they are small perfect for single-use. Custom sizes are available, just ask.

These hankies have two layers. Sizes that are 8x8 and larger will have the two layers quilted together.

The Facts:

Fabric: Two layers of 55% hemp/45% organic cotton jersey (t-shirt knit)

Color: natural

Thread color: default is natural, or choose color. (Type your color choice in the "Edge Color" Box.)

Now you can travel with your hankies! My hanky bags have pockets for stashing clean and dirty hankies separately. It is perfect to carry with you in your purse, diaper bag, backpack, or car. Hanky bags sold separately.

Washing instructions: Hemp is sturdy and able to be washed and dried in hot temperatures. The fabric has been pre-washed and pre-shrunk, but hemp and cotton may continue to shrink a tiny bit more. To avoid more shrinkage, you may want to wash in cool water and tumble-dry medium. Hemp fabric (like all natural plant fibers) will increase in absorbency after it has been washed 5-10 times to remove the natural oils. Small amounts of bleach may be used when necessary. Choose a scent-free detergent and avoid all fabric softeners and dryer sheets. These chemicals coat absorbent fibers and make your towels and wipes less absorbent. They also pollute the air in your home and neighborhood. Yuck!

Why Hemp? If you are not familiar with the hemp fiber, it is something you should read more about! Hemp is amazing for textiles as it is more absorbent and more durable than cotton. It also has anti-microbial properties which fight mildew and other germs. The industrial hemp plant is great for our planet as it produces more fiber per acre than cotton. It can also be grown without the pesticides that conventional cotton uses. Hemp has been used to make fabric for centuries. The first pair of Levi Jeans and the first American Flag sewn by Betsy Ross were both made from hemp! It was also used to make ropes and sails on ships since it could endure the harsh elements much better than cotton can.
