Hemp Textiles

Hi everyone ---

I am working on a Sustainable and Green Design interior project, and I would like to use a Hemp / Silk blend for the drapery specs. I am looking for sites online that offer textiles, but I can't seem to find any that send free hemp/silk swatches that are in the US. Due to budget I need the shipping to be domestic and not overseas. Most of the time with any other textile it is not a problem to get free swatches sent.

Any ideas or resources out there?

Thanks --- :)

Here is one link to hemp fabrics:

They do not have a large selection though.


Here is one that lists a silk blend:

Thanks Linnea ----- the first one you listed was helpful and sent me textile samples in less than a week. Looks exactly like silk! Thanks again :)
