Hemp for Knitting is a yarn. Hemp is not the easiest yarn for knitting but you can knit with it. Here is the evidence. I think it could be a great farmer’s market bag. The pattern is the Shop til you Drop Bag by Lanaknits. The yarn from The Yarn Lounge in Richmond!
Bag craziness continues. A few weekends ago Caroline and I happened upon a sale at the local quilt store. Of course we did. (Well, we went to the shop on purpose, they just happened to be having a sale….) I bought some Kaffe Fassett fabrics. (I also scored some Amy Butler fabrics but we will get to that another time.) I also bought a couple of bag patterns. I made one of them this past weekend. It is “The X Bag” and is an interesting design. When sewn together the folds created in the main fabric pieces create pockets inside the bag. I do need to finish the tab closure.
Happy sewing, knitting, weaving and ironing!
You go girl!!
One of my weaving teachers this weekend was raving about hemp yarn. She said it acts a lot like linen, but doesn’t wrinkle as much when used for clothing. I’ve yet to try it, but your photo makes me want to start!
That bag looks really cool! I keep trying to imagine it made from handwoven fabric.
