My family uses cotton or linen almost exclusively. When you do your laundry use borax and a non scented detergent. The chemical perfumes in most laundry detergent are major endocrine disruptors.
Up until relatively recently it was effectively illegal to grow in the United States. So it probably doesn’t readily occur to most people as of yet as an alternative. Given it’s only been legal about less than 10 years.
Also from what I found looking online quite a few people find the resulting fabric from most methods of processing it uncomfortable to wear. Which is another point against it. So it’s not likely to come up in most discussions regarding fabric alternatives for clothes. Unless they develop a different processing method.
Though it does have utility as an alternative to canvas or other similar packaging materials.
A lot of clothes are made with a hemp/cotton blend to placate the soft, spoiled masses. I had a heavy winter coat made that way (no pure hemp coats on the market at that time) that was still awesome. Pure hemp clothes can last for generations and I think they get more comfortable over the years.
It's not widely available and the doc doing the study was using an experimental design intended to inform clinical decision making. So, he chose options that were commonly available on the market and widely worn among his patients.
I suppose if his patients had all been Portland area vegan-hipster potheads, he might have included hemp, but hemp is still barely legal in the US (the definitions about THC content limits end up making it a logistical pain in the butt to grow commercially).
Bible says not to wear mixed fibers, but that’s Old Testament, so paying attention to it “would be legalistic” even though it’s breathed straight from the mouth of God and all good for teaching and admonishment. 😁
Didn’t pretty much everybody wear mostly cotton before the 90’s?
The bible says not to mix wool and linen: Leviticus 19:19 and more specifically Deuteronomy 22:11. There is a very good reason not to mix wool and linen and probably most other fabrics as well.
Look up doctor Heidi Yellen. She did a study on fabric mixing in 2003.
Of the 4 healthiest fibers for wearing why do you suppose hemp wasn't listed?
Also Linen...linen clothing, bed linen... everything!

Agreed! And I use Borax also for laundry.

Sounds like denim (the real deal denim, not the stretch blends that own the market).
I suppose it is too "high"! Kek
