A yarn we feel good about in every way.
Made from a renewable resource, grown without pesticides or herbicides in China, allhemp6 won't shrink, stretch, or pill! Hemp For Knitting's Canadian founder, Lana Hames, works with a Chinese company to wet-spin the long-line hemp fibers for softness and sheen. Cool in the summer and warm in the winter, nature's strongest, most long-wearing fiber makes the perfect sweater yarn, especially for kids and men who run hot.
Your hemp skeins will be a little stiff when they first arrive but give them a chance—your yarn will soften as you knit and get softer and softer every time you wash and dry it. Hames offers this suggestion: If your hands are particularly sensitive, pre-soak your skeins in hot water and a little hair conditioner and air dry thoroughly before you knit.
