Imperium Fiber is the premium wellness fabric and yarn brand from Heartland Industries. We make ultra-soft, high-performance natural fiber for athletic wear, swimwear, outerwear, underwear, intimates, and home goods, with no microplastics and no pesticides.

A wellness yarn is plant-based performance fiber grown and processed without the pesticide load common to conventional cotton and without plastic microfiber shedding. Imperium is engineered so the cloth against your skin supports health instead of adding synthetic shed or farm chemistry.

No. Imperium hemp is grown without pesticides on regenerative acres. Clean inputs are part of the wellness definition, not an optional hangtag claim.

No. Imperium is plant cellulose (hemp and hemp-lyocell blends, plus hemp/wool for outerwear), not petroleum filament. It does not shed plastic microfiber the way polyester and nylon do in wear and wash.

Most athletic wear, swim, and home textiles start as plastic fiber. Imperium starts in the field: regenerative hemp, closed-loop lyocell where we blend, and a supply chain built to be honest from soil to skin. Read the full path on Our Story.

Imperium Fiber is the premium wellness brand from Heartland Industries, the team building regenerative hemp supply without the pesticide story. The founder is Tim Almond.

Yes. Nylon is still the stretch and recovery benchmark in activewear and swim, but it sheds plastic microfiber. A hemp-lyocell blend is built to take that performance job without petroleum filament, so brands get the hand and recovery story without the plastic cost.

Yes. Polyester dominates next-to-skin activewear on price and durability, at the cost of microplastic shed and finish chemistry. Imperium hemp-lyocell is specified as a natural performance swap for athletic wear and related categories.

For jackets and cold-weather layers, Imperium hemp/wool keeps wool's thermal insulation, strength, and soft hand while cutting material cost versus wool-only cloth. Programs start at a 24s yarn count built for outerwear constructions.

Yes. US Hemp / US Supima delivers linen's breathable, textured hand at a cost a bedding program can carry, without flax's processing premium, and without microplastics or pesticide cotton.

Brands should not have to pick between cost reduction and sustainability. Hemp/wool lowers outerwear fiber cost versus wool-only. US Hemp / US Supima opens a linen-style home program without flax pricing. Hemp-lyocell replaces nylon and polyester performance without trading away the margin story that plastic used to own alone.

Performance fabric and yarn engineered for movement: four-way stretch and moisture-wicking comparable to nylon-lycra programs, with zero microplastic shedding. Built on 40/2 hemp-lyocell constructions across the support curve.

Athletic programs center on 40/2 hemp-lyocell (Ne 20 resultant). The same yarn covers a full activewear line; compression and gsm change with the knit, not a different fiber purchase.

Chlorine-tolerant, quick-drying, shape-retaining swim cloth with the performance of synthetics and no microplastics. The plied 40/2 construction and 160 to 220 gsm knit keep opacity honest when the garment is wet and stretched.

US Hemp / US Supima fabric and yarn for bedding, towels, and home textiles: linen hand at a program price, fine counts for premium sheeting, no microplastics and no pesticides.

Hemp/wool for jackets, mid-layers, and cold-weather outfits: warm as wool, soft as silk, starting at 24s. The blend keeps thermal insulation and soft hand while bringing cost down versus wool-only cloth.
