Natural and Bleached Hemp Yarns
$10.00 – $41.00
Hemp is the next big yarn. This 100% Hemp yarn is a long line wetspun yarn with great drape and longevity. It comes in a range of sizes: thick 6 ply that is wonderful for rug or tapestry warp as well as lovely placemats; 2 and 3 ply that is great for towels and clothing; and a 1 ply (singles) yarn that is the thinnest hemp yarn available and are available on 100g or 400+g cones. The yarn is slightly slubby as a result of the spinning process. We have this Romanian grown and spun hemp yarn available in 4 sizes and either bleached or natural to fit your needs. If you would like colors, we have them available in both 2 ply and 3 ply yarns.
Hemp yarn is more economical than linen, and the sustainable crop grows well in moderate soils, uses less water than cotton and produces a large amount of fiber per acre. Currently there is no US production of hemp yarn in the US because of Federal Regulations and a lack of industrial capabilities. We are working toward helping make the US hemp industry grow.
These bleached and natural (natural hemp color) yarns are made in Romania and are available on 400+g cones. These cones weigh at least 400g and may be as heavy as 500g. The natural color varies from year to year, so make sure you purchase enough yarn at one time to complete your project.
We do have colors available in our own 2 ply Firefly hemp yarn, and 3 ply hemp skeins from Lana Knits. We do have a color card for these yarns plus all the colored hemp yarns available on our color card page.
