Description
This Hemp Cotton yarn is excellent weaving yarn (warp or weft), Hemp fiber obtained from the bast of the Cannabis sativa plant, and belongs to the group of fiber family that also includes flax, jute, ramie, nettle and kenaf. Hemp will be a bit stiff at first and that’s why we have developed this 50,50 hemp/cotton version so it becomes softer!

Am using the natural for dishcloths and although it is still on the loom I appreciate the quality. Have also knitted some cloths and prefer this yarn over the big box store brand. The biggest plus… made in America. Let’s keep “making America great again.”

I wanted an absorbent thread for a set of fancy dishtowels done in Summer&Winter. After using an entire pound of another size thread, I ordered this for the weft of the remaining towels. I wish I had ordered this before I used the first. The towels are soft, super absorbent, and have bloomed nicely.
I also had ordered one pound of a color MiA ran out of before the order could be processed. Reluctantly, I agreed to a substitution. Unfortunately, the other size thread was just a bit too large for this towel project; but rest assured, after the success of the 8/4, I will be using it elsewhere.
Customer service was superb. Thank you for that. It was much appreciated.
One other note, the first time these colors are washed, a color catcher or two in the wash is a good idea.

We are so happy to read your lovely review and satisfaction with our Hemp/Cotton yarn!! We make the yarn but you bring it to life with your creativity 🙂 Also thanks for the picture and the tip to the other fiber artists about the color catcher – we do our best to color fast however it’s sometimes not 100% since we try not to use as much chemicals in our dye house!
