It's interesting there is this idea that hemp is scratchy and uncomfortable and yet we wear jeans... Next to my Levi's the hemp fabric I bought is no more uncomfortable but a lot stronger and cooler in the summer.

There is a fella here in Australia that has made a harvester that removes the finer and spits out the inner stalk and all you are left with is a bail of fiber

I don't have anything against oil, but I have always sought out hemp clothing. I have a few jackets/coats made from hemp. Had to buy them from eastern Europe. 100% hemp. I don't think I'd want cotton. Else, one fiber will wash+wear away faster than the other.

Rayon is not an oil-based product. It comes from wood pulp.

I think replanting all clear cut regions with hemp should be an obligation...this would also be useful for ply board that could be harvested yearly instead of every 50 years thwarting clear cutting whilest keeping the lumber industry flourishing...
