🧵 The fabric
The DMC Eco Vita Hemp Fabric is a natural base made of 100% biodegradable hemp, designed for those seeking a sustainable and durable foundation for traditional embroidery and punch needle. Its natural open weave, with slight irregularities typical of untreated hemp fiber, gives your projects an authentic vintage and rustic look that makes every creation unique and one-of-a-kind.
Available in two pre-cut sizes — 38x46 cm (S) and 50.8x61 cm (L) — and in four natural shades (Oyster, Khaki, Flax, Cloud), this fabric arrives rolled in a tubular package to prevent creases and ensure an impeccable presentation. Perfect for working with embroidery needles or punch needles, the Eco Vita fabric is durable, soft to the touch, and completely biodegradable.
🧬 Technical composition: why hemp works
Hemp is a natural plant fiber that offers a unique combination of strength, softness, and sustainability. Unlike cotton, hemp grows rapidly, requires less water and land, and absorbs more carbon dioxide than trees while growing. This makes it a conscious ecological choice for those who want to reduce the environmental impact of their creative projects.
The natural open weave of hemp, with its slight irregularities, is not a flaw but a distinctive characteristic that lends authenticity and vintage charm to your embroidery. The fiber is completely biodegradable: at the end of its life, it decomposes without leaving toxic residues, closing the cycle in a natural and responsible way.
📦 Format and available sizes
The Eco Vita fabric is available in two pre-cut sizes: 38x46 cm (15"x18") for small and medium projects such as small pictures, pouches, and accessories, and 50.8x61 cm (20"x24") for larger projects like cushions, punch needle rugs, and generously sized wall decorations.
Each fabric is rolled and packaged in a tubular box to avoid creases and ensure a neat, ready-to-use presentation. It is recommended to keep the fabric rolled until ready for use to limit creases and facilitate framing.
🧶 Recommended use
The open and stable weave of the Eco Vita fabric makes it ideal for both traditional embroidery with an embroidery needle and the punch needle technique. For punch needle, check the compatibility of your needle with the fabric's count: the open weave facilitates needle insertion and stitch retention, making it suitable even for those just starting with this technique.
The fabric is easily placed on a circular or rectangular hoop and maintains tension during work. For optimal results, pair it with DMC Eco Vita 360 yarn, organic wool dyed with natural dyes, for a completely eco-friendly and coordinated project.
