I bought 2.5 m. hemp for myself and pre-washed. I have a toffee color and a navy. It resembles linen quite a bit. Can't wait to get something made up. I am thinking jacket, or capris and top.

That's neat, Mary. I get samples from Julie C.....she's now carrying hemp but for some reason the hemp fabric samples were missing from the little baggie that they came in. That caused some funny jokes from oldest son when I opened the package!

I have a hemp knit t-shirt that I *love*. Its one of the few store bought items that I've bought. Its really comfortable, washes well.

Let us know how your project turns out!

One year my daughter bought her dad hemp boxer shorts and told him "When they wear out you can smoke them."
