which hemp should I buy and from where?

Nature Lover

I am going to make some hemp inserts.  Should I buy jersey knit, french terry, or fleece? All are about a 55% hemp and 45% organic cotton.

Also I found this website.  https://www.hempfabricshop.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2&zenid=86d8cc2ccf5ef61a8e4fc1ee82e935b9

 Does anyone know a better place (cheaper) to buy hemp?  Thanks.

This isn't going to be super-useful because I have yet to buy hemp fabric, except for some jersey I picked up very cheaply when OBB Diapers was having its supply sell-off last fall.  It seems to be the same stuff that my JoeyBunz inserts are made of - pretty thin.  I've made some doublers out of it, and like it.

I have not sewn with hemp fleece, but I do have two different kinds of hemp fleece inserts - AFFF and GMD.  It is thicker than jersey, about twice as much, it seems.  I think my three-layer hemp-fleece inserts also absorb more than my six-layer hemp jersey inserts.  I don't know what the cost difference is, though.

i use hemp fleece and i think i last got it from kidsinthegarden.com

naturesfabrics.com also carries it and there's a 15% off code on FB or if you join the yahoo group there's a 20% off.  they just redid their shipping so it could be cheaper from them now.

I bought the bamboo/hemp fleece from Nature's Fabrics.  I really like it and I'm going to buy more in the future.  It's thick enough that two layers makes a good insert (IMO), which makes sewing them really easy.

I bought my hemp fleece from kidsinthegarden.com and I really like it.

I bought a yard and have not used it all if you want to "share" / you do not need a full yard...
