Special Notes

• Gets softer with each wash

• Extremely durable — long-lasting care

Additional Care Tips

  • • Machine wash cold (30°C/85°F) on gentle cycle — hemp is strong but benefits from gentle treatment
  • • Line dry in shade — direct sunlight can fade natural hemp color
  • • Iron while slightly damp on medium heat with steam
  • • Avoid bleach — it breaks down plant fibers; use oxygen-based whiteners if needed
  • • Softens significantly with each wash — no fabric softener needed
  • • Store folded; hemp resists mold and mildew naturally
