Hemp and Linen Yarns
3 Ply Hemp
We now carry this wonderful 100% hemp yarn. This Hemp 3 ply yarn is a long line wetspun yarn with great drape and longevity. It comes in a range of vibrant colors that are dyed with reactive dyes and are mercerized for colorfastness. It's perfect for delicate lace, summer clothing, and items for the home. This yarn is a fingering weight which is approximately the same as 5/2 cotton, a perfect weft yarn for clothing, towels, overshot. The hemp weaves similarly to linen, but this yarn is much softer and more supple. It washes and polishes beautifully with ironing. It also doesn't fuzz while you are weaving with it. Comes in 50 g skeins with 165 yards per skein. Made in China.
