Description

The 2/8 hemp yarn by Maurice Brassard is made from 100% natural hemp fiber, known for its exceptional strength and long-lasting durability.

Derived from the hemp plant, this eco-friendly yarn has gained renewed popularity in weaving and textile crafts thanks to its robustness, stability and low environmental impact.

Available in natural and bleached versions, it features a slightly rustic texture that adds depth and character to woven fabrics. Over time and with washing, hemp softens while maintaining excellent structure.

With a yardage of approximately 3360 yards per pound, this 2/8 yarn is ideal for projects requiring both strength and flexibility.
