“…17 Hemp yarns were shown to have higher bending rigidity than cotton yarns due to their larger diameter, higher crystallinity of the cellulose region, higher lignin content, and the circular cross-sectional shape of the hemp fibers. 77 Finally, the blends of cotton and flax fiber were found to have lower bending rigidity values than flax fiber. 19,23,76 The washing treatments were also found to be influential on the bending length and rigidity values.…”

In this study, the moisture, thermal, and tactile comfort properties of flax and hemp blended denim fabrics treated with selected common industrial washing treatments were analyzed. Being used recently in denim fabric production, four different types of flax and hemp blended fabrics in different compositions and a reference cotton fabric were produced in similar construction and treated with rinse, stone, and bleach washes. The impact of fiber composition and the washing treatments on comfort properties was analyzed statistically. The findings revealed that the blended fabrics had better moisture comfort properties and thermal resistance than the cotton fabrics. Moreover, their tactile comfort properties were within acceptable limits. The washing treatments improved the comfort properties of all fabrics in a similar way.

“…The pesticides and synthetic fertilisers used affect many living ecosystems and cause pollution of ground and surface waters, and as a result, they have a great negative impact on global health. 3 Therefore, the development of sustainable and economical alternative natural fibres and their adaptation to conventional production processes are required. 1 Researches on alternative raw materials that will reduce the rate of cotton use in textile products mainly point to flax and hemp fibres with the increase in the popular use of bast fibres (flax, hemp, jute, ramie, etc.)…”

“…It is also considered a more sustainable way of producing textiles, as hemp grows faster (3-4 months) than trees and other crops. 3 Compared to cotton, which is the most consumed natural fibre, flax and hemp fibres stand out with their superior ecological properties and organic textile production potential. 5 Fabrics produced from hemp fibre exhibit superior distinguishing features such as high moisture content and moisture absorbency, breathability, ultraviolet (UV) resistance, high temperature resistance and tensile strength.…”

“…Cotton/hemp-blendedfabrics give comparatively higher toughness, offer the highest tensile resilience, bending rigidity and bending hysteresis, shear rigidity and shear hysteresis along with higher surface friction and roughness value. 3 Okur investigated the effects of blending cotton with flax and hemp fibres on the comfort properties of denim fabrics. The results showed that blending flax and hemp with cotton increased the air permeability, water absorption, and drying rate of the samples.…”

In this study, it is aimed to provide alternative fibers to cotton with enhanced comfort level, environmentally friendly and color‐enriched in the cellulosic knitted fabric field. For this purpose, in addition to 100% cotton, 100% flax, 100% hemp yarns, knitted fabrics were produced from 70% cotton / 30% flax and 70% cotton / 30% hemp yarns. First of all, the properties of yarns such as tenacity, elongation at break, yarn unevenness, thin places, thick places and neps were examined comparatively. Then, pique fabrics were produced from these yarns and dyed with a reactive dye to a selected color. Afterwards, physical (weight, wale/course density), mechanical (bursting strength, pilling, abrasion resistance) and comfort (air permeability and water vapor permeability) properties of all fabric samples, both in raw form and after dyeing&finishing processes, were compared. Furthermore, dyeing properties (color, dye‐uptake, dyeing levelness, fastness) of fabric samples were also investigated. The dye uptake (%) values of the yarns decrease in the order of cotton > cotton/hemp > cotton/linen > hemp > linen. However, fastness values of dyed fabrics were nearly identical. Physical and mechanical properties of fabrics were very similar, while the air permeability of the fabrics decrease in the order of Hemp > Linen > Cotton/Hemp > Cotton/Linen > Cotton. As a result of the study, it has been achieved to produce knitted fabrics with superior performance characteristics (dyeability, comfort, etc.) from yarns produced via blending natural cellulosic fibers (flax and hemp) with certain proportions of cotton fibers, which contribute to sustainable production.This article is protected by copyright.

“…Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC for short, is a naturally occurring analgesic substance found in cannabis. 4,5 In general, Cannabis sativa (Industrial hemp) is considered to contain low concentrations of THC below 0.3%, and Cannabis indica (Marijuana) contains higher concentrations of THC above 0.3%. 6 Historically, the first production of the Cannabis Sativa plant with its discovery as a medicinal plant was started in China (around 2700 BC.).…”

The development of more sustainable textile dyeing techniques includes a lot of potential in utilizing bio-based plant-derived colorants. Hemp fabric has been dyed with an aqueous extract of pine cones at various dye concentrations to produce a brownish to darker color. Agricultural waste specimens, Anatolian black pine ( Pinus nigra subsp. Pallassiana), and Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) cones were used as natural dye sources on a sustainable basis. The dyed hemp fabrics were analyzed by different analytical and technical methods such as CIE L*a*b*, high-pressure liquid chromatography–diode-array detection, and scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer. The color characteristics of all the dyed fabrics were measured by a CIE L*a*b* spectrophotometer. The reversed-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography–diode-array detection method with the diode-array detection method was utilized for the identification of the components of dyes present in the dyed fabrics. Scanning electron microscopy with an energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer was used for imaging and elemental analysis of the surfaces of the dyed hemp fabrics. This work has created a novelty direct dyeing method with pine cones without using any mordants and to promote the use of agricultural waste. The fastness values of washing, rubbing, and light were assessed and contrasted. The fastness results were good in general. Washing fastness values were excellent and the same for all fabrics between 4 and 5. Rubbing fastness is also generally good and of the desired grade. The chemical compositions of hemp and pine cones, as well as the formation of dyestuff fiber, were investigated by using Fourier transform infrared analysis.
