Hemp is wonderful for many reasons. It is a very strong fiber (which would be the reason they used it for rope in the olden days) which is holds up well when exposed to sun and moisture. It is more rot and mold resistant than cotton or linen. Cultivating the plan actually improves the condition of the ground making it an ideal crop to use in rotation. It can be dyed very well using fiber reactive dyes. (We sell Procion Dyes which will dye hemp as well as cotton, rayon or linen.) These twines are from Romanian hemp which tends to be processed using fewer chemicals that hemp from China.
