Details

Sedge is a midweight hemp and cotton fabric with a soft, textured weave. Gentle slubs and tonal movement run across the surface, giving it a relaxed, natural look without any pattern. The cotton softens the handle, while the hemp adds strength and breathability, so it moves easily between cushions, occasional chairs and curtains. A versatile everyday fabric at an accessible price.

Best for: cushions and scatter cushions, occasional and dining chairs, Roman blinds, curtains, bench seat pads.

Weight: 310gsm

Width:143cm

Abrasion: 18,000 rubs Martindale (Intertek, BS EN 14465). Light Domestic under BS 2543

Installation & Application

Rated Light Domestic for wear, so best for cushions, occasional chairs and seat pads rather than a main sofa. For upholstery in UK homes, use with a fire retardant interliner or FR treated. FR treatment available on request. Note: the interliner route applies to fabrics with at least 75% natural fibre, and Sedge is 100% natural (hemp and cotton), so it qualifies.

Sustainability

Made with European hemp grown in France, the Netherlands and Germany, woven and finished in Eastern Europe. Finished with oxygen based bleaching and fibre reactive dyes. The fabric is tested to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class I, for harmful substances.

From the Studio

Leaf & Loom is a Somerset studio devoted to one fibre: hemp. Founder Camilla Pugh has worked with it for over fifteen years and set out to show it at its best. People tend to picture hemp as rough and rustic, but these fabrics are refined and made to last. There are heavy canvases and twills for upholstery, and softer cloths for curtains and cushions, in pure hemp or blended with linen, cotton or silk. The European hemp is grown in France, the Netherlands and Germany, then woven in Eastern Europe by mills they've worked with for years.

Why Elken Chose It

Hemp is one of the most impressive natural fibres there is. It grows quickly with little water and far fewer pesticides than most crops, and it leaves the soil in better shape than it found it. As a fabric, it's one of the strongest natural fibres you can buy, and it gets softer every time it's washed. It breathes well and wears in rather than out. Because it's entirely plant based, it breaks down naturally at the end of its life. Leaf & Loom's fabrics show how refined a truly natural cloth can be, and that's why we wanted them on Elken.
