Hemp fabric is a textile woven from the bast fibre of the hemp plant, Cannabis sativa — a crop people have grown for cordage, sailcloth and paper for thousands of years. In Faridabad, Compact Buying Services supplies a Himalayan hemp and Tencel™ blend, 26% hemp and 74% Tencel™ lyocell, to garment units, exporters and brands.
Quick answer: Hemp fabric in Faridabad is available from our Sector 35 office as a 26% hemp / 74% Tencel™ blend, woven from hemp grown above 1,800 metres in the Himalayan foothills. The Tencel™ share brings drape and softness that pure hemp lacks, so the cloth works for apparel rather than only for bags and upholstery. Sample kits are free; you pay only the courier.
What makes this blend different from the hemp most buyers have seen is the fibre, not the finishing. Lowland commercial hemp is grown fast and cut coarse, and it behaves like it. Mountain-grown hemp develops slowly, and the slower cycle produces a longer, finer bast fibre — the same principle that gives high-altitude tea its complexity. You can feel the difference between your fingertips before you ever put it on a machine.
We keep the specification attached to every consignment, so a repeat order eighteen months from now matches the swatch you approved. The full hemp fabric page carries the sample request form, and all products are listed together.
Hemp grows fast on little water, needs no pesticide, improves the soil it is planted in, and biodegrades at the end of its life — which is why it supports a sustainability claim a buyer can actually defend.
Most of our Faridabad buyers are not choosing hemp because it is fashionable. They are choosing it because a retail customer, an export buyer or a compliance auditor has started asking questions that cotton cannot answer well. These are the answers hemp gives.
None of this replaces certification. It sits alongside it, and it gives your marketing team material that survives scrutiny.
Our hemp is grown above 1,800 metres in the Himalayan foothills, where cool air and mineral-rich soil slow the plant down and produce a finer, longer bast fibre than lowland hemp.
Altitude is not a marketing flourish. A plant that grows slowly under cool conditions lays down fibre differently from one pushed to maturity in heat. The result is a longer staple, and a longer staple spins into a smoother yarn with fewer protruding ends — which is exactly what you feel as softness.
It is the same reason a Darjeeling garden and a plains garden produce different tea from the same species. The plant is identical; the conditions are not.
We work with growers in the Himalayan belt rather than buying commodity hemp on the open market, because the fibre quality is the entire point of this cloth. If we bought on price, we would be selling you something you could source anywhere.
We blend Himalayan hemp with Tencel™ lyocell at a fixed 26/74 ratio: the hemp supplies strength, breathability and texture, and the Tencel™ supplies softness, drape and sheen.
Pure hemp is a superb fibre with one commercial problem — it feels dry and firm, and most apparel buyers will not put it against skin without a fight. Pure Tencel™ has the opposite problem: beautiful drape, but not much structural memory. Blending solves both.
The ratio is deliberately hemp-light. At 26%, the hemp still contributes abrasion resistance and airflow, but it no longer dominates the hand. What you get is a cloth that wears like hemp and feels like something considerably more expensive.
Typical uses in a Faridabad unit are shirts, relaxed trousers, dresses, lightweight jackets and premium loungewear. Heavier outerwear needs a drape check on a swatch first. Finished garments can go through our AQL inspection before they ship, and the organic apparel range shows what we already make up.

The blend sits between pure hemp and cotton: softer than pure hemp, stronger than cotton, and far easier to cut into skin-contact garments than either.

The blend handles like a mid-weight viscose rather than a cotton — it drapes more, shifts slightly on the table, and needs a shade more allowance on a first toilé.
A fabric that feels good on the roll can still misbehave on a marker. These are the practical points our Faridabad buyers raise most often once they start cutting, and the answers that come back from the units already running the cloth.
If you are unsure how a particular construction will behave, ask for a one-metre cutting length rather than a small swatch. A short length is enough to make a single sleeve or a collar and see how the cloth reacts on a machine.
Most hemp disappointments come from judging it like cotton — expecting it soft on arrival, uniform in shade, and identical to the photograph on a screen.
We would rather tell you the failure modes up front than have you discover them on a delivery. These are the four that come up most often with buyers who are new to the fibre.
None of these is a reason to avoid the fibre. Each is a reason to test it properly before you commit, which is what the sample kit is for.
Wash gently at 30°C with soapnut or a mild natural soap, line dry in shade, iron on medium while damp, and never bleach — the cloth softens with every wash.
On limitations, plainly: the hemp content is still there, and at 26% it gives the cloth a texture that a pure cotton jersey will not have. The blend is smoother than pure hemp, but it is not a silken fabric and it does not pretend to be. Natural shade can also vary slightly between lots, so approve a swatch from the lot you will receive and keep it as your reference. If a buyer needs a perfectly uniform, completely smooth surface, cotton is the simpler answer.
Every consignment is checked against the approved swatch for blend, width, shade, surface and packing before it leaves the supplier.
This page is prepared by the Compact Buying Services team at Sector 35, Faridabad, which also provides independent AQL garment inspection for buyers across Delhi NCR.
Run your hand along the selvedge, hold a length against a light, and look at how evenly the yarn sits — a long-staple fibre shows a clean, consistent surface and very few protruding ends.
Not all hemp is the same, and the difference does not always show in a photograph. If you are evaluating this cloth against another supplier's sample, these are the checks that separate a good fibre from a cheaper one dressed up in the same language.
These checks take a few minutes with a swatch in hand, and they tell you more than any spec sheet. If you would like to compare our cloth against what you are running now, ask for a sample kit — the comparison is the whole point.
Our office is in Sector 35, so sample kits and bulk deliveries reach garment units across Faridabad quickly, usually within the same working week.
The practical advantage of a Faridabad base is turnaround. A buyer in an industrial belt such as Sector 24, Sector 58 or Mujesar can usually see a swatch before committing to a bulk order, and a question raised in the morning is typically answered the same day. Units in the Ballabhgarh belt, Greater Faridabad and the older NIT and Old Faridabad areas sit within a normal delivery run.
For buyers outside the city, we supply into Gurugram, Delhi, Noida and the wider Delhi NCR region, and dispatch sample kits worldwide. Deliveries are confirmed order by order against the address and quantity you send, so a unit in Pali and a studio in South Delhi are quoted on the same basis.
For export cargo, shipments from Faridabad are commonly routed through the Inland Container Depot at Tughlakabad in Delhi towards Jawaharlal Nehru Port, while Indira Gandhi International Airport handles air freight and courier samples.
If your unit is somewhere in the region not mentioned here, tell us the address. Faridabad is compact and the NCR is well connected, so the answer is usually yes.
We supply a Himalayan hemp and Tencel™ blend, 26% hemp and 74% Tencel™ lyocell, from our Sector 35 office in Faridabad. Sample kits are dispatched to garment units, exporters and brands so you can judge handle, drape and colour before committing to bulk.
The hemp is cultivated above 1,800 metres in the Himalayan foothills. The cool climate and mineral-rich soil slow the growth cycle, which produces longer and finer bast fibres than lowland commercial hemp.
Pure hemp can feel dry and firm at first, which is why we blend it. At 26% hemp with 74% Tencel™, the cloth has a smoother hand than most people expect from hemp, and it softens further with washing.
Minimums depend on the construction, finish and current lot, so we do not publish a single figure. There is no minimum for sample swatches. Send your garment type and approximate bulk quantity and we will confirm the smallest workable order.
We work to GOTS and OEKO-TEX 100 requirements and share the certification documents available for the lot you are offered with your sample kit. Certificates are issued by accredited bodies, so we confirm what accompanies the goods rather than making a blanket claim on the page.
Send your Pantone reference with your enquiry and we will confirm whether the shade can be matched on this blend and what it adds to the timeline. A dye swatch is approved before bulk production, so the colour is settled on cloth rather than on screen.
Both are bast fibres with a natural texture that softens with washing. Hemp is typically stronger and more abrasion-resistant than linen, while linen creases more sharply and has a slightly cooler handle. In this blend, the Tencel™ share adds drape that neither pure hemp nor pure linen has.
Wash gently at 30°C using a soapnut solution or mild natural soap rather than a harsh detergent. Line dry in shade, avoid tumble drying, and iron on medium heat while the cloth is still slightly damp. Do not bleach.
Yes. Sample swatches are free of cost and there is no minimum order to request them. Courier charges are payable by the recipient. Sample kits can include certification documents and a Pantone colour-matching note if you send your reference.
Yes. Units in Sector 24, Sector 25, Sector 58, Mujesar, Saroorpur, Pali and the Ballabhgarh industrial belt can all be served from our Sector 35 office. Send the unit address, the garment you plan to make and your quantity, and we will confirm sample and bulk delivery arrangements.
Shirts, dresses, relaxed trousers, softly cut jackets and premium loungewear are the natural fits. The 74% Tencel™ share gives the cloth the drape that fluid cuts need, while the 26% hemp keeps enough structure for seams and closures. Heavier outerwear needs a drape check on a swatch first because the blend softens rather than stiffens with wear.
At a higher hemp share the cloth begins to feel dry and firm against skin, and most apparel buyers will not accept that for a garment meant to be worn next to the body. At 26% the hemp still contributes abrasion resistance, breathability and a natural texture, but the Tencel™ carries the hand and drape. It is a deliberate balance rather than a cost compromise.
Weight is confirmed per lot at enquiry because it shifts with each production run. As a working rule, lighter constructions suit shirts, dresses and loungewear, mid-weights suit trousers and softly cut jackets, and heavier constructions are needed for anything structural. Tell us the garment and we will match a construction to it rather than quote a single number out of context.
