I have searched a long time for a nice extension of our collection and luckily I found this special yarn at the supplier of our Basic Sock. Like the Basic Sock, this yarn contains a small part of biodegradable nylon for sturdy socks and strong clothing. The big difference is in the addition of 10% hemp. Hemp is not only very strong but also very sustainable, its cultivation requires little water, no pesticides and no fertilizers. The addition of Hemp gives the yarn a beautiful structure and special colors. The yarn is machine washable and perfect for knitting sock, garments and accessories.
