Fine Hemp
The best quality creamy fibre! It drafts
as smoothly as silk! It contains almost no course fibres, and
has a beautiful soft luster. Imported many years ago, no longer being produced. Almost sold out! so don't delay on this one. Fibres are in the 3" to 4" range. Combed roving.

Bulk Hemp
This quality textile grade hemp fibre for handspinning has been combed
and very well cleaned. Enzyme retted, vanilla beige in colour, slightly
coarser than our very fine grade roving, the fibre has a very springy
hand. Individual fibres average 6" in length.
