Hemp placemats made from 6-ply bleached hemp yarn.  You can decide how embellished you want to make the mats.  We include instructions for multiple types of hand-manipulated weaves to use as edges on your mats.  All instructions require only 2 shafts. Perfect for your rigid heddle loom.

The 3 ply and 6 ply hemp yarns are produced in Romania.  They are line spun and have a nice sheen to them when you press the woven items.  A mangle really gives it a nice surface.

Project Description:  Four placemats, 13” x 19.5” finished size.  Woven with plain weave background and various finger manipulated weaves for interest. You will warp your loom, weave 2 placemats, and then warp it again to weave 2 more placemats.
