Types of Yarn. Hemp Yarn.
Feb 26, 2021 11:27 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.
