Maurice Brassard’s Hemp 2/16 yarn is the perfect choice for weavers seeking a strong, eco-friendly plant-based fiber with a rustic look and feel. Available in natural and bleached versions, this fine yarn (approx. 6720 yds/lb) offers excellent structure, texture, and long-lasting performance.

Ideal for functional fabrics, home textiles, and creative weaving experiments, this yarn becomes softer with each wash while maintaining its durability. Use it alone or blend it with other fibers for unique effects. Suitable for both warp and weft when tensioned properly.
