Description
Extra fine tarred hemp twines made from double-twisted hemp yarns, treated with Swedish pitch-burned tar, are an exceptional product that combines the natural properties of hemp fiber with the benefits provided by tar.
Material and properties: These twines are the result of meticulous craftsmanship, where hemp fibers are twisted in two stages and then treated with Swedish pitch-burned tar from Dalarna. The tarring process imparts a unique scent, color and protective properties to the yarn, making it ideal for various projects. Hemp yarns are known for their natural strength and durability. These double-twisted twines retain the strength of hemp fibers while providing a rustic and authentic feel. The tar gives the yarn a distinctive scent and a dark brown color, adding historical and rustic charm to your projects. The tar also acts as a natural protection against moisture and weather conditions.

- Macramé: These twines are particularly suitable for macramé artworks and seaman’s handicraft. They impart a natural and historical feel to your creations.
- Napkin rings: The twines can be used to create napkin rings that add a rustic and unique touch to your table setting.
- Decorations: Hemp yarns treated with tar can be used to create decorative elements and craft projects that enhance the historical and charming atmosphere of your home or event.
