butter hemp®
One mission: to become the lightest and softest Hemp fabric.
the impossible fabric
Butter Hemp is the lightest Hemp fabric in the world, with the highest Hemp percentage (96%).
We achieved this record thanks to a breakthrough technology that makes the thinnest Hemp yarn compatible with modern weaving machines.
so beautiful it seems like a lie
The image is a microscopic enlargement of the hemp fiber used in Butter Hemp®. We have had it analyzed several times by an independent laboratory because more than once, enthusiasts or competitors suspected it was not hemp. Indeed, it is such a light and soft fabric that experts do not understand how we managed it.
the 4%
Burro Canapa® is a predominantly natural fabric: 96% is pure, high-quality hemp. The remaining 4% is an elastomer—and not just any elastomer, but the best elastomer in the world, of Japanese origin. It is recycled, therefore with zero impact on the environment.
The fabric could also be 100% hemp, but the addition of a very small percentage of elastic offers many advantages: in production it reduces waste, meaning less fabric is discarded; it makes the fabric slightly more elastic and therefore more durable. A small sacrifice for greater durability, less waste, and greater sustainability of the product.
the nature, exclusively ours
The Zero color, undyed, of Burro Canapa® is an exclusive of Opera Campi. Seriously, no one else in the world does this!
And there’s a very specific reason: fashion brands have always rejected the natural hemp yarn’s irregularities and tiny black spots for aesthetic reasons. As a result, since 2024, hemp growers and spinners have stopped producing the natural-colored yarn.
So we stepped in: we purchased all remaining reserves of natural yarn for Burro Canapa®. It will last us for a while, and as long as it does, we’re the only ones who have it.
