With a hearty character, hemp fiber adds strength and rusticity to Field Notes, our DK yarn that's 50% French-grown hemp and 50% Sicilian cotton, and to Santolina, our fingering-weight yarn in a mix of cotton, hemp, and bamboo. Made from quick-growing plants that require little water, hemp yarn is good for the environment, and its fibers are long, very strong, and absorbent. Similar in hand feel to linen, hemp yarn is a natural, deeply satisfying choice for garments, dishtowels, and summer knitting!
