It remains one of our most important fiber crops today. Plant hemp seeds in soil and place them in the sun. Water every day and watch the linen sprout and grow. The process from sowing to harvest typically takes 100 days. Harvest, peel and scrape hemp skin to extract fiber, then wash and dry. After drying, the fiber can be bleached and made ready for weaving. Many steps are involved in creating a linen item, including weaving, designing, cutting, and sewing. The process of creating a piece of linen clothing takes a minimum of 200 days from the first step of sowing hemp seeds to the last step of sewing, but just 1 second to throw them away. Treasure your clothes, appreciate the hands and effort that each part of the process takes, and make conscious buying decisions.
