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.

Applications: Extra fine tarred hemp twines are popular for crafts and hobbies and can be used for multiple purposes:

  • 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.
  • Seizing yarn: They are also suitable as seizing yarn in maritime applications to secure and protect rigging and lines.

Advantages: Extra fine tarred hemp twines made from double-twisted hemp yarns, treated with Swedish pitch-burned tar, combine natural strength with authentic charm. Their applications range from arts and crafts to maritime and decorative projects where tradition and quality are paramount.
