Hemp yarn is popular with natural fibre lovers. The long bast fibres from the plant stem have been used for thousands of years for rope and textile production. It is mildew resistant, so it is a useful option when weaving towels and bath mats.

It is suitable for weaving projects like rugs and wall textiles, and also macramé, knitting and crochet. Weave it as you would linen, using similar setts.

Absorbency and softness improve with wet finishing, washing and use.
