I just knew that canvas is from cannabis

I was reading how to make dairy free parmesan cheese which is made from industrial hemp. So, I am curious about this and read more in wiki. Found a new surprise that canvas (shoe material) made from cannabis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp

Hemp was also commonly used to make sail canvas. The word "canvas" is derived from the word cannabis.[24][25] Pure hemp has a texture similar to linen.[26] Because of its versatility for use in a variety of products, today hemp is used in a number of consumer goods, including clothing, shoes, accessories, dog collars, and home wares. For clothing, in some instances, hemp is mixed with lyocell.[27]
