FAQs
Are hemp and linen yarns good for knitting?
Yes. Hemp gives stitches firm shape and strength, while linen adds smooth texture and gentle drape. Both fibers soften as you knit and settle into a comfortable finish.
Do hemp and linen yarns feel rough?
They can feel firm in the first few rows, especially hemp. As you work, the fibers relax. Linen smooths out quickly and hemp develops a flexible, broken-in feel over time.
What needle size should I use with hemp or linen yarn?
Use slightly larger needles than you would with cotton. For light to medium hemp or linen yarn, US 4–7 (3.5–4.5 mm) works well. Adjust based on your tension and project style.
Can I knit garments with hemp or linen yarn?
Yes. Linen works well for tops, baby items and light layers. Hemp gives structure to bags, hats and accessories. Many knitters blend the two in projects to balance feel and strength.
Do hemp and linen yarns stretch or shrink?
Both fibers hold their shape. Expect a small amount of tightening after the first wash, then stable wear. Wash gently in cool water and lay flat to dry for best results.
Will the yarn soften after washing?
Yes. Hemp and linen soften noticeably after blocking or a gentle wash, making the finished fabric more flexible and pleasant to wear.
Can I knit with hemp and linen in the same project?
Absolutely. Hemp adds stability and definition; linen brings softness and an airy feel. Just choose similar weights to keep stitches even.
Are Hemptique knitting yarns dyed with safe colorants?
All colors are produced using AZO-free, non-toxic dyes. The shades stay clear and steady with regular wear and gentle washing.
How should I store natural yarns?
Keep yarn in a cool, dry space with good airflow. Linen benefits from breathable storage such as cotton bags. Avoid sealed plastic containers, which can trap moisture.
