Hemp is a very strong durable fibre, very similar to flax but finer. It is a bast fibre. It is naturally a golden color, but this has been lightened to almost white. If you want to dye your hemp it will be a true color. Hemp works well as a blending fibre with wool. Hemp is used in many applications, from clothing to automotive industry. Commercially produced hemp top is sliver that has been combed and aligned, which removes the short bits. This additional preparation allows a hand spinner to produce a more consistent, smoother yarn. Spin dry or wet.
Flax and hemp are the most commonly available bast fibers prepared for spinning.
