(so i think it depends on your stitch pattern--straight stockinette will do it to you though.) i love working with hemp — check out the handknit market bags on my blog. i’ve used lana’s hemp (dk weight) for a while now and love it. the hemp is super strong-perfect for bags, and it knits a nice dishcloth that will last forever.
