Hempshaugh 2.0 Fingering merino, hemp & silk

Hemp has a rich history as a fiber, food, and more all over the word, but we think it really shines in our Hempshaugh yarn! Named after an English town known in the past for producing hemp products, this yarn is a blend of soft, comfortable merino wool, luxurious silk, and sturdy, breathable hemp. This blend is perfect for summer garments and accessories that look refined and wear comfortably in hot, humid weather. The fabric it creates has beautiful drape and light hand, but best of all stays dry and breathable all day long.

OMG - It's SOFT!!

I was expecting a yarn similar to the linen or hemp yarns I've used from other providers. Or better, the original Hempsaugh. I don't know how you've done it, but this has a soft hand and I think it will drape well. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that I haven't knit it up yet. But trust me, this is going to the top of the pile. I can't wait to knit with this yarn!!
