In past centuries, hemp fiber's coarseness restricted itself from being used in apparel and in the home. Hemp needed to be softened. Traditional methods to soften vegetable fibers used acids to remove lignin, a type of natural glue found in many plant fibers. While this method to remove lignin worked well with cotton or flax, it weakened the fibers of hemp and left them too fragile for use. Hemp therefore remained an industrial fabric.

In the mid 1980's, Chinese researchers developed an enzymatic process to successfully remove lignin from the hemp fiber without compromising its strength. For the first time in history, de-gummed hemp fiber could be spun alone or with other fibers to produce textiles for apparel. This technological breakthrough has catapulted hemp to the forefront of modern textile design and fashion.

Today, hemp is permitted to be cultivated in abundance all over Europe . However ， China is still the largest and the best supplier of hemp yarn , because the Chinese enzyme retting system is superior to all others. We are so experienced and professional of how to develop the hemp yarn .
