This is a save the planet plant.. it should be legalized everywhere.. it will change the outcome of the planet.. Credit: 📸 article Had an awesome talk at guild the other day by Claire from the @contemporaryhempery and took home some of last year's crop to play with. It was very very coarse, but I managed to get a few samples. The top two are the line singles of a thickness that could be used for weaving, I started off spinning Z, but it fought me all the way, so the second one is spun S. Perhaps this is where the 'bast fibres must be spun S' common wisdom comes from, as I've experimented with flax and found it doesn't matter at all, but with this it did seem to make a difference. Or maybe it's just more noticeable as the fibres were so much coarser. The bottom skein is the tow blended 50/50 with wool and 2 plied for the sort of yarn that would be used for knitting. I wish I knew more about hemp to be able to advise how to improve the quality; if this were flax I'd say plant closer together, harvest earlier, and perhaps ret for slightly longer, but with hemp I have no clue, and from the pictures this was certainly planted incredibly densely. Even though this doesn't make the nicest yarn yet (but it will improve with wet finishing), I'm really happy to be able to be involved with such a cool local project. I have a little more of the line, and considerably more of the tow, so I've got plenty of opportunity to try and do all I can to get a nicer softer smoother yarn, I just need to think about what to try. I know I'm going to make some simple hand-twisted cordage from the tow, but I'm not sure what else yet. #spinning #spinnersofinstagram #hemp #hempfiber #hempfibre (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpJ0ToesiQ-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Making it easier to grow, process and use the plant in a variety of products and projects. At the Lower Sioux Indian Community near Morton, the focus has been on using hemp as a building material, to help construct not only higher-quality but environmentally-friendly homes for members. #climate #sustainability #HempProducts #hempcrete #hempfiber
