The wild hemp is gathered and processed by hand in the traditional way by farming families who weave fabric in quiet periods in the farming year. It is then hand-spun into yarn and woven into lengths of cloth before going to Kathmandu by bus. The farming families who produce this beautiful Himalayan textile receive a much-needed cash income from this business. This wild hemp is naturally organic and the cloth made entirely by hand. By buying from Wildweaves you are helping Heaven Hemp support these families in this traditional occupation.

A local Nepali artist has hand painted our hemp bags with Mithila Art. Mithila Art is traditionally a woman's ritual art from Nepal and India and is composed of geometrical forms and magico-religious symbols. It is done on mud plastered walls and floors and the skill is passed down through the generations from mother to daughter.  The paintings and drawings mainly represent Hindu deities, animals, and human beings.

By purchasing this bag you will help "Heaven Hemp" give employment to Nepali artists.
