By adjusting the yarn component, blend ratio and weave structure, fabrics with hemp fibers achieved good light stability, flexibility, pilling resistance, air permeability, antibacterial function, and flame retardant function. Those union fabrics were suitable for home textiles, such as curtains, sofa cloths, table cloths, etc. The existence of modacrylic fiber improved the light stability of the fabric. The fabric with sateen weave and with hemp/cotton blended weft yarn had a better flexibility. The fabrics with no less than 40% of hemp fibers in the weft yarns had a better pilling resistance, especially when its structure was plain weave or twill weave. Hemp fiber contributed to the air permeability of the fabric. Sateen fabric had a better air permeability than plain or twill fabric. The fabric with hemp fibers had good antibacterial function. When its weft yarn had no less than 80% of modacrylic fibers, the fabric met the requirements of flame retardancy. The flame retardant ability of the fabric was better when burnt in the direction perpendicular to the flame retardant yarns than when burnt along those yarns. The sateen fabrics provided a better flame retardant stability than plain or twill fabrics.
