Strong Natural Plant Fibre
Beautiful, high-quality hemp fibre combed into a smooth spinning top. This degummed hemp roving is ready for spinning and other fibre art projects.
Hemp is one of the oldest textile fibres used by humans and comes from the stems of the Cannabis sativa plant. As a bast fibre, it shares characteristics with flax and ramie: strong, durable and naturally lustrous.
This hemp has been degummed, removing the natural plant gums so the fibre drafts more smoothly when spinning.
You can choose between two variants:
• Natural hemp – soft beige natural fibre colour
• Oxygen bleached hemp – light, clean fibre ideal for dyeing
Hemp fibres produce strong yarns and add durability and structure when blended with other fibres.
• Hand spinning
• Fibre blending
• Textile art and fibre crafts
• Strong plant fibre yarns
• Felting when blended with wool
Like other plant fibres, hemp does not felt on its own but bonds well with wool in felting projects.
• 100% hemp fibre
• Degummed hemp top
• Colours: natural or oxygen bleached
• Strong bast fibre
• Suitable for spinning and fibre blending
Hemp is considered one of the most environmentally friendly textile fibres. The plant grows quickly, requires little irrigation and typically needs fewer agricultural inputs than many other fibre crops.
Finished hemp textiles can be hand washed gently and dried flat. Hemp fibres soften with wear and washing.
