Hemp Yarns

This project uses 3 ply natural and 1/2 bleached hemp as warp (1500 ypp). The red coloured blocks are 22/2 cottolin. If you don't have any hemp available, you can substitute with 22/2 cottolin for the complete warp.

The weft is natural single ply hemp. Again, you may substitute with a singles linen.

This design works well as towels or as placemats. The blocks and stripes are very versatile and the design can be easily altered by increasing or decreasing the number of blocks or their size.

This is a doubleweave structure where the warp threads create design blocks that are reversed on the back of the cloth.
