Hemp Beanie - Black Walnut

Our pioneering Hemp Beanie is one of the first pieces of clothing made from U.S.-grown hemp. It’s a year-round knit hat made from a 30% American hemp, 70% American cotton blend that’s comfortable, breathable, durable, and 100% natural.

Naturally dyed with locally-harvested Black Walnut (Juglans nigra), a North American native tree.

A classic beanie style combines rib knit to hug your head and jersey knit for a slightly relaxed fit. A cotton logo label and cotton thread mean it’s 100% plastic-free, vegan, and biodegradable. Spun, knitted, dyed, and sewn in North Carolina, USA.

American-Grown Hemp Is (Finally) Coming to Your Closet

Hemp is one of the oldest plants cultivated by humans, but for decades it was illegal to grow it in the United States. In 2018, new federal regulations made it possible for U.S. farmers to once again grow hemp commercially.

However, no one had produced clothing from hemp in the U.S. in a long time. Textile machinery to turn hemp plants into clothing simply did not exist in this country. 

After years of R&D, a community of innovators and dreamers has created a beautiful, eco-friendly blend of hemp and cotton for our clothing. Blending hemp with cotton means we can make clothing on the textile machines we already have here. 

Our hemp/cotton blend brings new dimensions to the natural fabric world, providing more durability than 100% cotton. In addition, this new natural fabric will be an antidote to pervasive use of petroleum-based polyester in the apparel industry.
