​Types of Yarn. Hemp Yarn.

Feb 26, 2021 10:27 PM

Hello, my dear ladies!

Today, I'd like to tell you about not so ordinary type of yarn, which can be used only for certain things, because it isn't soft- it's hemp yarn.

Hemp, a relative newcomer to the knitting world, is a delightful natural fiber. Hemp is surprisingly soft to the touch. It’s hard wearing and has great stitch definition. Most commonly known for its use in macrame.

Ideal For: Boot socks, Fisherman type sweaters, coats, scrubbies

Fun Fact:

Hemp plants can produce 250% more fiber than cotton.

I just bought some to make a summer hat with.  I love it and I have worked with hemp yarn before and it is so much fun. I will post a pic when it's done.
