Hemp Bed Sheets from certified organic hemp by Rawganique.com

Finally, 100% hemp linen sheets, pillow cases, and duvet covers that are mindfully and lovingly made from premium-quality certified organic European hemp -- this means grown and processed without chemicals or pesticides of any kind for true purity and environmental sustainability. Our hemp sheets are completely elastic-free (like in the old days, when sheets are tucked in by tying the corners into knots or with pins), with the exception of the fitted style which features elastic bands at the four corners.

Here at Rawganique.com, we have long envisioned a home in which hemp would play a major part. We have been harboring a hopeful desire for pure, sustainable, and organic hemp fiber products for all the rooms in the house, especially the bedroom, where we spend so much of our time and where purity is of the essence. Until now, as many of our customers have found, 100% hemp bed linens have been next to impossible to find and those that could be found were prohibitively expensive antiques from the turn of the century. Being unhappy with this unfortunate situation, we set about to correct it.

After months of searching, we've finally found just the thing we were looking for: a premium quality air-finished (so it's ultra soft and cozy) 100% European hemp linen that has the weight and feel of the very best handmade French hemp linens and Irish flax linens of yore. We've named this delectable collection the Ecru CannaBliss Bedding Collection, in honor of the "raw" purity and the untainted beauty of the untreated hemp fiber. The collection is designed specially for the purist who will not settle for anything less than the best and purest in truly sustainable products.

The hemp fiber, in its raw untreated state, is thick, plush, breathable (the fiber is hollow at the core, creating air spaces that keep you warm in the winter & fall and cool in the summer & spring), and--most important of all--earth-friendly.

Our luxury organic hemp linens are simply the finest and purest sheets available. Its elegance is striking. Their beauty is timeless. The fabric is crisp yet soft, voluptuous and caressing, making for a quiet, peaceful, insulated, and rejuvenating sleep, night after night. With 100% hemp sheets, who needs cotton? (See below why conventional cotton is harmful to both your health and that of our planet.)

Customers who have tested our organic hemp sheets say they love the sheets so much they wouldn't be able to stand a night without them: they'd take their hemp sheets with them on a trip just to be sure of a good night's rest! We agree wholeheartedly: there's certainly a lot to be passionate about when it comes to these very special hemp bed sheets and pillow covers.

And for our customers who are chemically-sensitive (MCS--multiple chemical sensitivities) or chemically-adverse, there simply is no other choice: these organic hemp linens are the most natural and hypo-allergenic available. Only water and mechanical combing were used in the processing and softening of our hemp fiber. No caustic sodas or acids were used at anytime (unlike the Chinese hemp manufacturing process which regularly uses these highly toxic chemicals).

We offer our luscious hemp bed linens in six timeless colors to fit your every mood and suit your very own style:

• Ivory in honor of the long-standing tradition of crisp white linens
• Desert Sand for those who prefer everything in natural (the result is a veritable quiet zen experience)
• Indigo/Twilight Blue for those who thrive on ambience and atmosphere (very calming and centering).
• Terra Cotta: a bit of red, orange, and brown combine to create this stunning earthy color that goes well with any decor
• Pistacio: Sweet, light green the color of tender young shoots and leaves and, of course, its delectable namesake
• Alpine Meadow: just the right shade of refreshing light blue; perfect for those who appreciate the crisp, clean, & clear blue of alpine country

Desert Sand hemp sheets and duvet cover and Twilight & Earth Brown Pillowcases are shown in the second photo from top with Organic Hemp/Linen Blanket/Bedspread in Ivory. Alpine Meadow Blue sheet is pictured top. Please see details on color options for each particular product below.

We are often asked to compare organic hemp linens to organic cotton linens. Matter of personal preference aside, you'd get organic hemp linens for their beautiful and elegant texture (very cozy and comforting at the sensory level) and organic cotton for the smoothness (almost like satin). Hemp is a more sustainable fiber (organic cotton, though pure, still uses a lot of resources like water and organic amendments to grow, whereas hemp practically grows itself and even adds much-needed nutrients to the soil in the process).

Hemp is also stronger than cotton by three to ten times the tensile strength (depending on whether it's a knit or woven fabric). Both organic hemp and organic cotton linens are of course better for us and for the environment in the short and long run. Why? Because...

Each year, 275 million pounds of pesticides are used on the conventional cotton crop alone, not to mention millions and millions more pounds of chemicals that are routinely used to process the cotton fiber and manufacture cotton products.

Hemp, on the other hand, grows easily without chemicals or pesticides in virtually any climate and soil and is easily processed and softened with just water and mechanical combing.

Tidbits: In the old days, the word "linens" was used to mean both hemp linens and flax linens. Hemp linen is slightly stronger and hence more durable than linens made from the flax fiber but for all intents and purposes they look and feel the same; both are cozy, have a lot of texture, and get even softer with each wash (they are soft to begin with) yet remain strong and resilient for years and years (hemp and flax linen sheets dating back to the 1800's are still in excellent shape and greatly sought after as rare collectible items).

When it comes to quality bed linens, hemp has become the fiber of choice for more and more people (especially in light of the fragile condition of our planet), thanks to its purity, timeless beauty, durability, and environmental sustainability. Incidentally, the word "canvas," which is itself a kind of linen, came to us from the Greek word (via Dutch) Cannabis, meaning hemp.

Care instructions: Please wash your organic hemp sheets, pillowcases, and duvet covers in warm water with like colors using a mild, biodegradable for best results. Front loading washing machines are best, as they are gentler on the clothes and also lighter on the planet (front loading machines use way less water and require less detergent than top loading ones). Your hemp sheets will also last a lot longer with front loading machines than top loading machines. This recommendation goes for all the organic cotton, hemp, and linen clothing & home products we sell. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners. Hang to dry. Many customers have reported good results with machine drying, as long as the heat is kept very low and the hemp linens are removed just before they are completely dry, but we do not officially recommend it. Your organic hemp sheets may be ironed at the highest linen setting for the traditional crisp linen look if desired.

We do not chemically soften our organic hemp linens, preferring instead to let laundering and regular use do the work of transforming them to a brushed & highly treasured coziness the time-honored way. Your organic hemp sheets will soften dramatically over the first few washings and will get even softer with each use.

Here's a message about our organic hemp sheets that we recently received from a UK customer who has been using organic linen sheets for many years: "Just wanted to let you know that we LOVE our hemp sheets (that we got from you). My husband actually prefers them to our linen sheets. I gather that hemp is more thermostatic than linen..." Yup, they are, and hemp sheets that have been aged to perfection through right use and care become as soft and cozy as brushed flannel.
