2. The Journey from Plant to Fabric Four stages turn a renewable crop into cloth ready for the cutting table. 01 02 03 04 Fibre Yarn Weave Finish Long fibres come from the stalk of the hemp plant, a renewable crop grown without pesticides. The fibre is spun into yarn, sourced from sustainable yarn makers or made in Weaving Vibes' own facility. Yarn is woven in-house. The weave sets the character: plain, twill, oxford, herringbone, seersucker or double oxford. Cloth is dyed with AZO-free colours or printed, then each batch is checked for density, colourfastness and durability. 36+ 250,000+ AZO-free In-house years of weaving expertise metres of fabric woven monthly dyes across solids and prints weaving, made in India WEAVING VIBES 2
