Hemp

The toughest common plant yarn — for bags, plant hangers and pieces that must not stretch.

Definition

Hemp yarn is spun from cannabis-plant bast fibre, with very high tensile strength and almost no give.

Overview

It carries weight without deforming, which is exactly what a hanging planter or a heavy market bag needs.

Hemp is rough at first and softens considerably with use, but it is never a next-to-skin fibre.

Characteristics

  • Extremely strong
  • No stretch
  • Coarse hand
  • Softens with use

Typical uses

  • Plant hangers
  • Market bags
  • Rugs
  • Rustic decor
