Hemp is a fiber that reacts favorably in all climates. It is especially comfortable in humid, sticky areas where the hemp holds its shape. While working it seems to have a bit of a stiff hand but softens with each washing. The textural elements of hemp enable it to hold its shape. This flattering dress is suitable for beach or cruise or just about town as a layering piece. If you have difficulty finding the yarn to work this garment, please message me and I will be happy to assist you to purchase the yarn.
