To tap into the plant's exciting potential for Canada, the industry recognised the need for a common national front. The Canadian Hemp Trade Alliance was formed in 2003: we are a non-profit national group of hemp processors, marketers, farmers and information specialist.

We use only natural dye materials such as bark, roots, flowers, wood and insects to get every shade of the rainbow. We use only non-toxic mordants and minimum water usage. And, hemp dyes the best of all cellulose fibers with natural materials.
For more than 20 years, Thistle Hill Weavers has been weaving luxurious custom fabrics, carpet, and trim for designers, home owners, museums, and the film industry.
We specialize in creating accurate historic reproductions, working from surviving examples, documented patterns, and period weavers' drafts. Our work covers a wide range of periods: we've recreated early medieval textiles for Beowulf and woven custom fabric for modern high-end handbags.
Our ability to produce short runs of entirely custom fabric, carpet, and trims sets us apart from other textile manufacturers. (18 yards is our minimum custom order.) Our cloth is distinguished by the historic finishes we use which produce an authentic period look unmatched by commercially manufactured material.
Hemp Architecture's aim is to research and develop the use of hemp within construction and architecture. We pride ourselves in cutting edge research and innovative design solutions which are pushing the frontiers of the sustainability movement.
