I’m not having much luck in my hunt for local cloth materials. There are hemp farmers in Ontario, but most of them look to be large scale operations that sell to large scale national or multi-national companies. In other words, they aren’t selling their hemp to local weavers and spinners, as far as I can tell.
Looking for some smaller scale hemp growing operations, I thought I would see if I could find some small organic hemp farms. So far I haven’t found any, specifically, but I know they exist because the Cool Hemp Company makes use of local organic hemp produced by Ontario farmers.
I think my next step will be to e-mail the Cool Hemp Company and maybe the
Ontario Spinners and Weavers.
