Hemp Facts


Hemp is one of the oldest and most widely utilized industrial plants in the world. Its fibers, seeds, stalks and oils have been used in thousands of different ways for fuel, laquers, paper, clothing, food, medicine, etc. Anything that can be made from wood or petroleum can be made from hemp. It is one of the easiest and environmentally friendliest crops to grow. No pesticides, No bleach, No genetic engineering necessary!

Hemp IS NOT the devil in disguise. That's silly, it's a PLANT. However, it IS an environmentally friendly plant, drought-resistant, nutritiously edible (seeds), and well, incredibly versatile – an economic cashcow. There's mucho information all over the web. For starters try HIA (Hemp industries Association) or Jack Herer.com.

Our Hemp Clothing
Our T-shirts, Tanktops, Pants are made from a 55% Hemp/45% Cotton Jersey Knit Blend. This fabric feels incredibly soft and smooth against the skin and lasts up to three times longer than ordinary cotton. It's more insulative than cotton, keeps the sun's uv rays off your body and holds color much better than algodon (that's "cotton" in spanish). And you can wash & dry just like...cotton.

Clearly, hemp rocks!

Hemp is the future of fashion. Swirlspace is excited to be a part of the oncoming wave. Even Armani's doing it. Come on, you know you want to try it, we dare you!
