Our advice on yarns made of natural hemp:
Please note that hemp yarns have a natural odor that will not disappears for a while. The smell is a mixture of hay and old flour sack. It will wear off after a few months of use. However, a certain residual odor remains forever which is often desirable when using hemp yarns in the design and equipment area. The "sour" notes will disappear and the rather pleasant hay-like smell will stay.
Alternatively, you can use Polyhemp yarn. Polyhemp yarn is visually and haptically indistinguishable from a natural hemp yarn but offers some advantages. Polyhemp yarn is odorless, does not absorb any liquids, is washable with a damp cloth and therefore easier to clean.
