We have dyed these yarns in 22 of the bright, saturated colors you have come to expect from Lunatic Fringe Yarns. These colors have been dyed specially for Lunatic Fringe Yarns by a dye house right here in the US. Bold hemp yarns are available in a creamy Bleached yarn, and Natural and Dark Natural. Please be aware that these hemp yarns do have an occasional slub. If you are concerned about the slubs, please cut them out as you are using the yarn.

The Lyte Hemp™ yarn comes in two sizes: Bold and Fine. Bold yarns which are shown on this page have approximately 2,600 yards per pound: Sett at 20-28 epi and beat at 20-28 ppi. The Bold Lyte Hemp™ combines beautifully with 10/2 or 8/2 cotton yarns. Fine Lyte Hemp™ yarn has 5,000 yards per pound. Click here to see the Fine Lyte Hemp™ yarns. We recommend setting the Fine Lyte Hemp™ at 30-36 epi and the same for ppi. The Fine Lyte Hemp™ yarn combines beautifully with 16/2 or 20/2 cotton yarns. Both the Bold Lyte Hemp™ and Fine Lyte Hemp™ are strong enough to use for warp.
To minimize the exuberant tendencies of these yarns as you are weaving: soak your bobbins and pirns in water prior to use. It doesn’t need to be a long soak (10 minutes or so is plenty…the bobbins will sink below the surface of the water as they get fully wet). Then blot dry and weave your fabric. This prevents the yarn from escaping from the bobbins.
Colors are dyed with Fiber Reactive dyes and are washfast. We have 25 fabulous colors: Natural, Dark Natural, Bleached White, Black, Light Gray, Dark Gray, Amethyst, Burnt Umber, Butter Yellow, Cobalt, Copper, Cranberry, Eggplant, Gold, Kelp, Lime, Magenta, Peacock, Periwinkle, Ruby, Sapphire, Sky Blue, Tangerine, Teal and Thyme.
